Art: Waterlillies and Agapanthus
Claude Monet


Poem Artwork



Agapanthus


 

 

I found you arching

above ripe succulent tongues

noblest of lillies

regale me with your trumpets

in cerulean splendor

You have taken one of my most favorite forms of poetry and applied your unique insight and creative abilities to celebrate the beauty of the agapanthus and the incredible art of the great impressionist Claude Monet. I believe Monet would be humbled and honored that such a striking piece of poetry was, at least to some extent inspired and created as a result of the poet experiencing his own work. Like Miss Pandora, I also think there is some other esoteric inspiration for this piece, in addition to the magnificent art you have chosen to accompany this poem. I would even go so far as to say there is a subtley erotic quality in this delicate creation. I really think you should write more in this form. I enjoyed is immensely!

Oh my ... the umbels of showy blue delighting the olfactory modality and the eyes. This must be a metaphor for something else in your life besides the lily of the nile. Maybe something in context to your most cherished nom de plume Blueberry? HA! (-:

Your ability to connect and articulate as a poet is soothing and always touchs a special place in this readers heart. Well done!
Blessings ...

Lillies - always delicate and filled with fragile beauty. The sensual imagery you have used to describe them is exquisite. Beautifully written, Taylor. Lydia

Taylor - I loved a woman who, had she lived, would have loved this poem. She knew all the Latin names as well, but never used them to impress a lover of flowers. It occurs that flower patrons, who know, have a silent agreement to enjoy flowers... no matter what it takes to communicate. You wrote superbly in this one about gorgeous and delicate lilies that are among everyone's favorites... even if all of us don't know those beautiful words! Love you style! - Bill

It always amazes me Tay, how eloquently you can capture a thought or moment in time. This rich offering from your poetic pallette is truly striking. A stunning combination of words inspired by more than the art methinks. Much love Panda :)x
