Image: Monet was attributed to be the
founder of the 'impressionist movement'
in art with his painting, 'Sunrise' which
depicts the port of Le Havre at sunrise
the 10 of 12 given words:
wrought rust Monet peer
tangle (to unite or knit together in intricate confusion)
epigrammatic (adj)) of or like an epigram;
terse and ingenious in expression
tenon (v)) A projecting piece of wood made for insertion
into a mortise in another piece, to join securely)
oblivescence (n) (adj)) witty, concise saying
vase overslept
Wrought with hazy lines entangled
beautifully in a confusion of a rusty aging
in a misty pastel background Monet
was hailed by his peers as the master
of an impressionist mind
Epigrammatic in an art sense 'Sunrise'
fitted squarely like a ‘a mortise and tenon joint’
into the art scene when first exhibited in 1874
It was akin to the equivalent of an oblivescence
of Shakespearean brilliance expressed in an art masterpiece
Even better yet with a vase of fresh water- lilies
next to it (Monet's signature flower) to
complete the picture
One would have been caught in an overslept
mode not appreciating this form of the art world

This is such a brilliant ekphrastic poem, Hank!❤️
ReplyDeleteGosh those are tough words to get into a poem!!! Cleverly done!
ReplyDeleteSo much can sure be seen and used to describe if one is to look
ReplyDeleteSeeing the world through a dream...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this a lot, Hank. Monet is on my favorite artists list. So is France, LeHarve included. I posted of our 2009 holiday visit, and our outing to the beach at Eetretat, west of LeHarve. Monet painted that beach a lot, probably the one you posted.
