Notes About The Poem

- Madonna -


                              Canvas print of beauty speaks
                               She was born of petal's peaks
                               fearless and brave, never weak
                         Edvard Munch was Norwegian not Greek

Hi Sunshine Smile you are right - the painting of The Greek Madonna and child is from 1460 - 1470's painted by Giovanni Bellini and the Greek interpretation affirmed Her status as 'Mother of God'. However your breathtaking poem of Madonna created on canvas by Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch is superbly written and creatively crafted. Kudos my friend. Love and hugs, Jennifer

Yes Jan, the rhyming was excellent. That added to the beauty and strength of the new creation! I had not thought of the famous painting, " The Scream " in many years.. And her -- very powerful, " fearless and brave, never weak" verse set the foundation for the last verse so very well! A great example for a very fine ytop poet using my new poetry form. Bravo-- A gift...

Love this new creation my friend. Especially so because Edvard Munch's paintings have always reminded me of my favorite poet, Edgar Allan Poe. You chose such a great painting too. Your first creation in this new poetry form shines as starlit bright. A gleaming set gem and a new fav today! God bless.
