| Boat In The Moonlight - Odilon Redon |
No
one knows how he lost his way
on
the familiar run from
the
mouth of the river
to
his room on the quay.
The
moon was out
when
he ran aground
and the boat was found
but not the old man.
and the boat was found
but not the old man.
Only
the keeper knows
what
happened that night
how
he fell asleep
whilst tending the light.
April is poetry month, and the challenge today at The Imaginary Garden was to write an ekphrasis poem based on the work of French symbolist painter and illustrator, Odilon Redon. Ekphrasis is a literary description of a piece of art.
