Vignette-Beyond Reality

Haystacks and poplars
Rivers and views
Gardens and lilies
with abstract hues-
these impressions ..I choose

Denis Joe Date: 3/1/2009 7:21:00 AM I like the fact that a writer can take on another art form as the theme to a poem. sometimes it fails because the writer feels that they must offer a critique. I think the narration of a feeling is the best approach and you do it here. the 'I choose' is emphatic and a great way to end the poem. the rhyme of views - hues and choose, add a real punch to this.
