Kim Rodrigues Poet Monoku

Notes About The Poem

Ekphrasis based on Chagall Painting per contest. 

I and the Village

ogling the green man - triangle between his nose and the dairy goat

scytheman spoils - dreamy village, ‘cept for the upside-down violinist

green man wears cap and St. Andrew’s cross -
                                                tree of life pinched between fingers

cubist colors - emotive impact, up and down, side to side, frenzy

Crystol Woods August 27, 2024 at 12:37 PM I'm glad you decided to write more than one monoku, they're each done with thought and imagery, the painting so busy it needs more than one line! But you've expressed so much with so few words, it's more difficult for me than writing an essay! Impressive Kim! Xo Kim Rodrigues August 27, 2024 at 1:45 PM Thank you, Crystol! I appreciate you! :)

Kim Rodrigues August 26, 2024 at 5:54 AM Who would have thought that a monoku was a useful tool for portraying such a prolific artist. Chagall is my favorite so I enjoyed writing for this. :) Blessings, dear one!
