Ekphrasis On Haystacks At Giverny
coruscating cosmic colours
dazzling in the skyline~
prismatic geometric shapes
of village houses from afar
dwarfed by enormous haystacks
a fiery cone resting
illuminating in varied hues
reminds me of
a mystic mountain ~
against the luminous sky;
emanating silhouette
resembling your shadow
as you gently fade away
the day you said,”goodbye”.

Notes:
Haystacks is the common English title for a series of impressionist paintings by Claude Monet. The principal subject of each painting in the series is stacks of harvested wheat (or possibly barley or oats: the original French title, Les Meules à Giverny, simply means The Stacks at Giverny). The title refers primarily to a twenty-five canvas series which Monet began near the end of the summer of 1890 and continued through the following spring, though Monet also produced five earlier paintings using this same stack subject.(Photos and info credits to Wikipedia.)
