HIS COLORS ~ PUSHKIN SONNET

The painter in a Monet world inspired,
by moon-soaked flesh and curves that speak proclaimed,
his Juliet in brush strokes so desired,
dipped in colors, a passion so renamed

where in his eyes a vision so beautiful
beyond an art his heart paints dutiful.
For his sore eyes was more than recompense,
a heightening of senses circumstance

and as he filled in every curve and shape,
she sat there lithe like swan in graceful poise.
His Juliet in color screamed like noise
so vividly in paint to canvas rape.

He touched her nudity with not one feel.
His colors were a touch closer to real.

Hi Moonchild, I like to write sonnets and to read other peoples'. The Bard was truly brilliant - and we can all aspire to that, can't we?
I picked up your subtle sexual undertones and think you did a great job with folding them in. Also, phrases like 'moon-soaked skin' speak to me but your couplet is stand-out. Very well done.

Thank you so much Terrance

I enjoy writing Sonnets and reading other people's too.
I have around 300 of them.
