A nail goes in the barren wall to bring the spring alive I can almost hear a bird that begs a morning sun to rise There's a garden now between my palms, and dew within my eyes The fog lifts high and drifts away, and clouds that hover high While butterflies, and bumble bees, bring color, oh, so grand Addressing spring, caressing things, a rainbow in my hands. I glimpse, as if through windowpanes, and fall in love anew Enchanting me with roses, red, that bloom around my head A cottage quaint, with paint of gold has cheered me from the blues Such charm invites my soul to rest, in shades of Monet hues From nature is a vast array, of color, by the best I wish to hold the magic long, to frame, to keep, ... to last

Carrie, I think your poem expresses a beauty even finer than the painting. It speaks to a poet's heart, and mine is saying I love this poem and it is going into my favorites. Your words and this painting meld together in breathtaking art!

Ah Carrie, I was at Monet's cottage & all we could do is stare from the road. It was closed for winter and the bus would not stay long enough for us to walk to the lily pond! Damn I should have just run for it! Didn't occur to me until now to be naughty!Should have been much higher. Congrad's on your win! Light & Love
