Tony Bennett and Me

No, I do not know Tony Bennett, but I have enjoyed his music from time to time over the years. When I found out he was also an artist with quite a portfolio of paintings to his credit, I was inspired to use a couple of his paintings as touchstones from which to write haiku. That was back in 2015.

On my blog, I write a new haiku every Saturday. When I heard about Tony Bennett’s retirement from performing at the age of 95, I took it upon myself to expand my tribute and do a series of haiku using more of his paintings.  Listed below are the haiku I have written that were inspired by Mr. Bennett’s art: 

 


And by the way, here are some songs by Tong Bennett that I’ve posted in the past:
