stalked by Claude

Meeting the Bar at dVerse Poets with Bjorn looking at impressionistic art


 

layers of light

flecks of colour

giant’s velvet

birthday cupcake

or thatched hut

is sunlit stack of

bovine manna

dried muffin-top

will-o-wisps in wind

dense center holds

heat of long day

gleaned stubble field

rests in cool shade

robust wet dabs

of painter’s palette

reflects sweat of

villagers’ harvest

    I love what you did with this image…visions of cupcake , muffin top and bovine manna are great. I read this prompt when it came out and felt a bit bamboozled by it. I think you did very well.

    I agree. Your poem is a very creative reflection of Monet’s work. Now I am dreaming of cupcakes.

    I also like how you used the painting! That shape, repeated in your write. Lovely!
