Carrie Richards Poet Ekphrasis

Monet ---Woman In a Garden L867

Lovely maid, in solitaire

 With parasol and silken hair

  With hope she dreams, for love she waits

   For lover's kiss at garden's gate

     Pastel dreams, of vast array

      Blending hues of wild bouquet

       Gardens green, and pallets blue

        Fields of floral, faded view

         Blurry image, soft and fair

          Sense of romance harbors there

           From soaring wings, soft brush imparts

            Love's impression fills the heart
