olive trees by Van Gogh
mediterranean sun
pulsing rhythm
warm yellow sky
radiates, ripens
music of olives
leaves quiver
trees wave arms
trunks sway hips
shadows of oil
flow to sound
of cool blue
pyrenees bass
dancing in grove

Quite a challenge, working with such short lines – each one has to be perfect, each word has to play its part! I think you did it splendidly – and of course, I love the sun and movement of Van Gogh and Provence!

the music of impressionism – no wonder we are drawn to what we cannot quite see here

Most definitely!

The short sentences mimics the short brush strokes of the Impressionists. I’ll look at an olive a bit differently now, imagining its source.

I adore “music of olives”. This is a fun lyrical dance in the grove for sure!

I like to think the Holy Spirit inspires me…through the beauty of Van Gogh’s paintings 🙂
