JC Brul Poet Footle

Notes About The Poem

Impression Sunrise Footle

sun rays
     soft glaze

               tawny
              shiny

       Monet's 
           art ways

            airtouch
            light -touch

               teal hue
             sea view

    shadow
    warm glow

          spells hope
            'gainst hope

     of morn
        reborn

Franci Hoffman October 27, 2022 at 2:49 PM Beautifully written piece. The first I'd seen a footle. I love this poetry form and must give it a whirl.

John Watt September 10, 2022 at 12:59 AM J, Monet is one of my favorite painters and you've described this painting so well in a difficult format. Thank you for the educational portion as well, and for explaining why this painting has such great significance in art history. I used this same painting in a recent poem of mine. You are obviously an art lover, and I always enjoy reading your poems about art. Warmly, John

Anisha Dutta August 12, 2022 at 11:52 PM Simple on easy flow. I like it. Have a good day

Sara Kendrick May 8, 2022 at 7:31 AM Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. I like it. Footles are not so easy to write but it seems you have it down. Your visit to my page was encouraging. Sara

Andrea Dietrich May 1, 2022 at 1:29 PM In response to your reply below - I lost the last time I gave footles. I never know when he will like mine or not, but I really think this set has a good shot!! JC Brul May 2, 2022 at 2:28 AM Now I lost, too haha..

Valsa George April 26, 2022 at 11:20 PM No doubt, you are master of footles, Jez. I can predict you are going to be a winner! I haven't so far tried a footle and I don't think I can ..... JC Brul April 27, 2022 at 2:07 AM I can predict you can compose great tootles my friend. Can't wait to see your version.

Connie Marcum Wong April 26, 2022 at 9:50 PM A very beautiful footle this is JCB. I am sure Brian will enjoy this great example of his form. Blessings xxoo JC Brul April 27, 2022 at 2:08 AM Thank you Connie. I appreciate your warm feedback.

Andrea Dietrich April 26, 2022 at 4:27 PM Pretty sure this will be a winner. I'll probably have to think up some more because he does not like villanelle, kyrielle or many of the other types I like to write. I really enjoyed these. JC Brul April 26, 2022 at 8:18 PM Your footles are unique, Brian will surely appreciate more from your incredible ideas. Thank you for stopping by and taking time to comment. All the best.
