Written for: Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads – Micro-Poetry~A Poem As
(posted by Kerry)
Can words convey
that taste
of cold salt
on your lips
fresh
from the ocean?
Can words be as lovely
as the rush and tingle
of falling in love?
Can you pen a Monet?

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
Can you pen a Monet? that is quite a question Sara. It is certainly making me think.

Like Toni, I too really like the last line. Wow, that was unexpected and adds a really fascinating touch – leaves me thinking on the impressionistic works, their beauty for the sensuous, of light, colour, form, and how in some way, they touch you without you being able to quite understand exactly how …. so to “pen” a Monet – well, that would be pretty incredible … this is a really cool little poem Sara 🙂

That is a tall order, Sara! The challenge will face a lack of participation. Not many can delve into an artist’s mind!

It was already lovely, and opening up some good almost-rhetorical questions … and then that last line made me laugh with simultaneous surprise and agreement.

That last line! It says it all. Monet painted the simple, as you do here, both of you in masterful strokes and dabs.
