Crown Cinquain – Emotional Shadows

**The Artist’s Garden at Giverny** (French:*Le Jardin de l’artiste à Giverny*) is an oil on canvas painting by Claude Monet done in 1900 now in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

Damsel of Buds

Welcome
to my garden
to revel in colors,
sprinkled by the dainty damsel
of buds.

she strides
with dreamy lull,
creates the land of love
doves coo – melodies that allure
beaus.

fragrance
blends with beauty,
flutters with the petals
misty dance of pink and purple-
a balm!

arms of
Mother Nature
drape around stressful nerves
serenity percolates now
through air.

wondrous
garden of bliss
that sparkles for moments
just pause to admire the unique
artist.

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to craft syllabic poetry. This week, the inspiration is a painting, which was featured on Rebecca’s post:

#FridayPainting: Claude Monet “The Artist’s Garden at Giverny”

I’ve written a Crown cinquain, a sequence of five cinquain stanzas functioning to construct one larger poem. This poem has five stanzas, each with syllable count of 2/4/6/8/2.

Thank you.

Lessons from Nature

first rays
percolate down
to enlighten the soul
celestial light inspires to live
with hope

learn hope
from wind that chimes
to add her melodies
to aspirations that dither
sometimes

Willows
absorb the grief
bend but refuse to break
resilience is a virtue –
mute hint!

buds smile,
exhort us to
enjoy joyous moments
that are missed in the race of life –
savor!
