Tanka 1

In the mountain pond
lilies crown their noble stalks
spread their leafy robes
as green and darkened jewels
fathoms deep were my loves eyes

I am also a lover of Monet’s water lilies in all the various shades of light and dark. This is beautifully penned Isola. I have a Monet print of water lilies on my dining room wall. Last two lines, so packed with imagery.

Thank you again Chris, for your kind and thoughtful words. It brings me joy if my poem evokes the fine artwork of Monet 🌸
