Manet and the Sea

Mint julep steams a relentless baroque in time
To the weaver’s arms from his mind
Invisible stairwells cracking implosions
Soft dawning, scented hands of cerulean saline
Whispering seascapes, marigold voice of waves
Rolling seascapes…millions of fingers
Crawling through pronounced waterfalls of color

Sculpting taffy…this assailant knows
What validates summits of artistic streams of light!
Little wooden vehicle floats with imaginative loans,
Ambitious Escape of Rochefort, unfinished aquatic groans

There…I stood on the edge of some faraway seas
Flirting inner steps of voyage, stepping under a marquee
Universe of luster, mobile flowing colored airways
Cold shadows of sea prayers, twilight blue-green stairways

Smoky misted melancholy, deep dark scourge of ships
Sinking sterns & lighthouse pencil sketchings
Atmospheric canvas, incarcerating a rocky footpath
Thawing into the horizon…a sunflower foliage bath

Impulsive thoughts of a ballerina…moist pirouetting flows
Quiet alliance…rolling performance mushroomed
Symphonic silent film…magical secret winds
Filling mainsails, pulling in…changing coral hierarchy
Clinging natural force alive…surreal mango breathing

Painting maneuvering stepping stones into a world of invention
Budding entrapments of marine grey-green dimensions
Calming curves hoisting, exploding warm musical embrace
Sun, horizon and sea floats in a metaphorical grace
Where one might fasten slow waves of circadian tempo
Encoded differently .by every soul’s maestro

Temperate light cycles, a place within this immediate canvas
Symposium hailing Belvedere at Boulogne…faceless sodden novas
Etching navigator antelopes across a saltwater blue-greenery
Sound pantaloons highlight, like a well rounded genie

LeeJ,
Etching navigator antelopes across a saltwater blue-greenery
Sound pantaloons highlight, like a well rounded genie
Yes that's Manet

He was a great artist.  You have captured his art perfectly, your eyes to you hand, pen and paper.  Excellent write Lee J.
