Impression of a Sunrise

Impression of a Sunrise

A Poem by SamanthaDanielle
"

This is a poem that was inspired by "Impression, Sunrise" by Claude Monet. It's my favorite painting and I was blessed enough to be able to see it while I was in Paris last month.

"
What a beautiful sunrise.
A beautiful, painted sunrise.

Blues, greens, and oranges
Flickering over the calm, cool water
From the misty, early morning sky.

The sun shines,
Illuminating the dark figure of a boat
And the people within that boat.

Alone.

Against a beautiful sunrise.

A painted sunrise created great stir in your heart to write a nice poem though you saw uncountable sunrises in your life of about 19 years.The painter must be given credit for being able to make you a poet through the painting.
The poem is small but beautiful.
Congratulations!

Makes me think of a raindrop memory, small, concise, yet within a world of its own.

Very enjoyable...I could see it myself..!

I loved it. Yes, it was short, but if it was any longer it would loose it's appeal. The way you have it now is lovely. I'm not going to say perfect because nothing's perfect, but you catch my flow? It seems like you went with your gut, did what floats your boat, I like that. And now that my jokes are flickering out of style I shall paddle away for a while. (see what I did there?) :P

Very interesting! I've never seen "Impression, Sunrise." but i get the jest of it from your poem. I think this is the first poem I've seen based off a painting. A little short but i think it's fine. Good job! :)
