Monet In His Most Glorious Day

Zeal

For Life,

Brilliant days,

All things with zest,

And also the zephyrs, to these, attest.

I have never seen a Monet like that. I suppose my ignorance has outed me terribly now. This ekphrastic poem delights, Mustafa.

Your Tetractys is now in the running at Mindful Poetry.

Mustafa Demiri Apr 11, 2012, 11:04pm UTC

It's my favourite of all Monet's paintings. It depicts his wife and son on, what looks like, a beautiful day.

This is as Susan said delightful. And I don't have to get all metaphysical to understand it. I think poetry ought to speak to the soul of all men (and they not need a web dictionary to make sense of it all). Just saying y'all.

I don't like to keep people guessing... Thank you, Alice.

Beautiful poem, Mustafa! Monet is definitely my favourite impressionist. You can see the zephyr in the painting.

Mustafa Demiri Apr 11, 2012, 11:10pm UTC

If there is one painting in which the zephyrs are visible, it's this one.

Thank you, Irina.
