Chagall is tough to interpret and your piece gives it depth defined. Braver man than me! Good luck in the contest. :o))

Thanks Arlo, I usually just go with my gut on these interpretational pieces, probably best not to overthink the consequences! Cheers David

Chagall likes floaters in his paintings. It’s as if they swim on his canvas. You did a twofer. I didn’t know we could write more than one. Yours are both outstanding, and of course, rhyming.

Heya Lin, I didn’t actually see anything in the rules saying limited to one monoku, I just went with my own immediate interpretation, A twofer seemed to be screaming at me! Lol, high praise, cheers David

I was looking through quite a few Chagall’s Tom, this one seemed to jump out at me, and literally wrote itself, thanks so much, have a great weekend too, cheers David
