waterlilies promenading in a lonesome pond are glimmering jewels of green onyx and emerald exuding empyrean elegance of your perennial aura oh, the purplish water that holds her tiny roots gently interchanging like a melody transposing from monophony to polyphony whilst lilac and sandstone petals dance with its rhythmic flow my young heart melts as leaves in varied hues of emerald and jade reflect the kiss of sunlight like the sparkle in your eyes when I whisper, "I love you" 17 March 2021 Notes:Water Lilies (or Nymphéas, French: [n?~.fe.a]) is a series of approximately 250 oil paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926). The paintings depict his flower garden at his home in Giverny, and were the main focus of his artistic production during the last thirty years of his life. Many of the works were painted while Monet suffered from cataracts. (Photo and info credits to Wikipedia ) All Yours ( March 17) Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand 1st place
