Ekphrasis On Impression Sunrise

tangerine sunrise~
oscillating reflections glow
like a sketch of your smile
at a glimpse of a new morn

a medley of indigo and carrot
as the sun floats in hazy sky
like the sparkle of your eyes
remembering first love

nebulous  harbour at a distance
of steamships and shades
sailing in silhouettes
strumming my senses
like the way you hold me
as we waltz after dawn

Impression, Sunrise (French: Impression, soleil levant) is a painting by Claude Monet first shown at what would become known as the "Exhibition of the Impressionists" in Paris in April, 1874. The painting is credited with inspiring the name of the Impressionist movement. Impression, Sunrise depicts the port of Le Havre, Monet's hometown. It is now displayed at the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris. (Info credits to Wikipedia)

Malabika Ray Choudhury March 6, 2021 at 10:38 AM Beautiful poem, JCB. I really love the way you have painted a picture with words! Loved reading the reference at the bottom explaining the Sunrise Painting by Monet. This is a wonderful form of poetry - relating paintings and descriptive words. Love ~ Mala
