| The Wave - Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Wikimedia |
choppy white waves
swaths of rippling blue
splashes emerald green
nature swirls with life
scattered palette of light
mixing hues
carrying a poets dream
flaming angel fish
rainbow of energy
wishing on a star-fish
movement of the tide
entertaining my muse
trying my hand at impressionism
with words

And it is a lovely interpretation of the painting. I especially like lines 7 - 10. Love those descriptions.
ReplyDeleteNice portrayal of water waves. I liked the line "wishing on a star-fish".
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of painting and phrase "scattered palette of light"!
ReplyDeleteLovely. And that scattered palette of light has and will inspire poets for generations.
ReplyDeleteYou picked up the impressionistic pen and stroked Renoir's painting in words. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love waves and can sit and watch them forever. You have captured the edge of the shore and the movement just like a painter
ReplyDeleteit is rich in color and movement, painting great meanings of the waves with your words. nice write :)
ReplyDeleteLovely moevement and colour in your poem, Truedessa, as well as sound, especially in that gorgeous line: 'wishing on a star-fish'.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Truedessa, I have stiff, cold fingers this morning due to a change in the weather - I meant movement!
ReplyDeleteAaaah, the ocean, my muse.... especially on a misty cloudy day....
ReplyDeleteNature swirls with life - wonderful description of the waves.

Those flaming fish would make a rather hit dish.
ReplyDeletehot* can't spell what the hell
DeletePhrases like sharp strokes of the palette knife. Well done!
ReplyDeleteTaken away to the shores of imagination. Wash with the waves of a dream.

Beautifully done, Truedessa. I was admiring the ocean's blue just this morning.........
