Impressions From Renoir


The last light of the evening lumbers gradually away
Horizons dappled red, and orange reflecting off the bay
Across the water pleasure boats are moored upon the quay
While waiting for the sun's return from where it's always strayed

And soon the night will intervene to blanket them with stars
Nestled safely in their harbor like impressions from Renoir
Who understood that darkness cloaks with shadows black as tar
When light recedes from waters edge, like smoke from his cigar

[BeeJay]

Bags I think Renoir is credited with the statement Shadows are not black or something similar. Nevertheless the lines

Who understood that darkness cloaks with shadows black as tar
When light recedes from waters edge, like smoke from his cigar

have a resonating touch. Nice write . Im no expert on Art let alone Renoir.I liked your poem. Nice. __BeeJay
