Sounds a bit like the DNC this year... 'For joy, for joy,' cheer the elites -- while bypassing 'the mundanes.' ~ Hillary, Oprah, the Obamas, et al.

Ahh!! Unusual line but can be true of people in love plus a very creative artwork. I am now wondering who did the art. Thanks for sharing. In my poem, I was writing about my parents and not grandparents. Sara K

I will have to go back to the contest to get the painter's name. Oh it's in the contest name at the top of my poem

Such love! Makes me dream away! Hah! We all need one that makes us fly to places with love and not drown us in mundane reality: you did this so well: its so interesting to find so many artists i knew nothing about and i might try this contest if inspired. Pleasure reading this! Best wishes sweet andrea.
