effervescent swirling clouds in turquoise summer skies float like flocks of fair sheeps in far away exuberant fields beneath are cyclopean cypresses touching celestial bosom in deep periwinkle and corn flower whilst wheat fields are golden fleece waltzing with the west wind oh, how can I forget the paradisiacal poppies sitting placidly along the wayside like your eyes glisten in your pensive mood unaware of my presence 9 March 2021 Notes:A Wheatfield with Cypresses is any of three similar 1889 oil paintings by Vincent van Gogh, as part of his wheat field series. All were exhibited at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum at Saint-Rémy near Arles, France, where Van Gogh was voluntarily a patient from May 1889 to May 1890. The works were inspired by the view from the window at the asylum towards the Alpilles mountains.(Photo and info credits to Wikipedia) All Yours (March 22) Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand 1st place
