Oops looks like I'm in blog post overdrive at the moment!

Re-write of a poem I wrote couple of years ago on Monet's Haystacks: Snow Effect.

This flows well and I much prefer it to the most recent piece you just posted. That one loses me. This turns a landscape into a soundscape. I especially like the punch line at the end but then I'm a sucker for a good punch line. Very good.

sorry dianne you've lost me :)

hi jim, glad you like it, thanks.

With Jim on the sounds of it. Liked it, but "plumes" just jarred me slightly - because they don't look like plumes to me. Or rather, what plumes are in my mind. But that's a personal thing.

I prefer the Alan Davie poem. To my mind this one is maybe a bit too literal as an interpretation and/or description of the painting.

Marion McCready said...

thanks for that, titus! will have a rethink about plumes.

hi colin, I know what you mean, I prefer the Davie one too :) it's hard when it's a redraft of an old poem to breathe life into it.

i can't remember the last version enough to compare. i like all of this except 'stacked in shocks of swathes' which is just too much.

Marion McCready said...

lol, you didn't like that part of the earlier version either!
