Water Lilies Through my Divine Eyes

By: Alejandro Espinoza

 

The Light in our eyes,

Dimmed with colors,

Refracting like diamonds

 

Lily pads dissolve in iridescence,

Blue, Purple, Green,

One by one, enchanting the scene

 

The sky embraces time,

Shows the longing life we have to climb,

And the aura of the world we have declined

 

The shadows show lost,

Dissolving the cast of joy,

The light of our life

 

Our times of light,

Are sufficed by illusive nature,

By the winds and tree lies the Lily pads dream

 

About the Piece: My first writing style is a poem on Monet’s Water Lilies. The poem showcases the art piece through my eyes/my perspective. The audience will be the pushcart press, a poetry contest where they get to decide whose poem was the best and you win a cash prize. The purpose of making this poem is to give elicit sentiment to the art piece, show the real beauty it is. In the poem I will describe the art piece, what Monet believed and what I believed as well. This genre is pertinent to me because poetry is like another language, it gives different meanings to different things which is what art is, symbols thriving through our eyes. The audience is expecting a poem because its a poetry contest.
