Your smile shines~ as the new morn breaks upon wisteria water reflecting sunlight kisses on sleepy teal trees. Your laughters echo~ upon the verdun leaves that radiate a lilac shade as the sun goes up like your eyes that sparkle in blue transforming into Caribbean hue on our first glance. Your song soars~ in synch with celestial symphony above each passing cloud where silver memory of a love lost and found is carved. That magical morning scene near Giverny... unveils a story written~ etched on the beaming branches of the whispering wild willows. The shy sky behind them~ wishes to kiss the gleaming water where silent sanctuaries are sheathed upon the indigo shadow, accentuated by lime hue, embracing purple highlights, glazed by mauve lavender mirrored on the water where lofty love story dwells~ perpetuated by each sunrise. 31 March 2022 A BRIAN STRAND PREMIER CHOICE Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand Notes: Morning on the Seine near Giverny is an oil painting produced in 1897 by French painter Claude Monet. This painting by Monet was one of the paintings of 17 canvases that too created by Monet on the same topics. This oil painting depicts a scene of the Seine river near Giverny which is Monet's hometown. It can be viewed at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.(Photo and info credits: theartist.me)
