Soliloquy

The old man dies a death, youth arrives with Spring- with a blaze of passion Summer takes a Fall- and decays- in Winter darkness ages all Inspired by Archimboldo's Seasons paintings http://www.abcgallery.com/A/arcimboldo/arcimboldo.html

Such, such a fine ekphrasis you have here...into my favs. One thing though...your title SOLIQUY... I could not find in my dictionary. Do you mean soliloquy? Thanks for this awesome piece! Ernesto

This one really caught my attention. Life's circle portrayed so beautifully. You manage to convey so much with only a few words. A great gift for any poet
