Sunbaked stucco home glows golden in the late summer looming.
Fall colors are coming, yet summer flowers remain -- sparsely blooming.
Autumn colored clouds move from the west, pushing the bright summer clouds away,
Making way for shorter and cooler days.
Interpretation of this two-dimensional piece of primitive art
can range from dull to clever and smart.
All the children are taking siestas
to stay up late for tonight’s fiesta.
The old man is borrowing a bench, so he and his lady-friend
can sit and watch the festival to the end.
A woman is looking out a window getting some air
and admiring the handsome old man dragging a chair.
Balanced vibrant summer and fall colors provide a poet with many directions.
Clean lines and clear focal points are inspirations.
Summer clouds smartly placed on the house add intrigue to multiple
interpretations.
This art can take the viewer anywhere worldly and is puzzle-worthy
with the best of intentions.
Ekphrastic poetry and monthly challenge




Smart verse!

A neat idea. I really like the opening stanza
