The Fridge (Aft. Alex Colville) Comments

Superb poem, I suppose you mean we stared at each other instead of started again...We started at each other--and laughed...

It's hard to keep the milk cold at your house…too hot!

4) LeeAnn, what happened to the 3 cats? I guess they got lost looking for the milk!

3) I'm sure a read a lot into this poem that may not really be there, but that's part of the fun of reading different meanings. An outstanding poem, LeeAnn. THX for stretching mine imagination!

2) I can easily visualize John Lennon and Yoko Ono on that infamous album cover. Both were staunch anti-war protestors.

The symbolism and metaphors are fascinating and absolutely brilliant when seen through the eyes of war. Alex Colville was a war artist. In several war films, cows and/or soldiers drinking milk leave an indelible impression on the audience. As does 'the glare of the lightbulb'.

Lovely depiction.....thanks for sharing...

I love Colville's art. Saw his exhibit at the AGO a few years back. You described that piece perfectly
