The clouds didn’t want their snow.
Too long was their journey
they simply let it go
as far as the eye could see.
Before they’d moved on
the sun returned the snow.
Finish what you’ve begun
it said, before you go.

keep it up. often brevity is best. like the Seurat too. Looks like an early one or maybe just a study.

Thanks! It does seem a little more improvised, but I love it. He’s one of my favorite painters.

Thanks Gabriela! Seurat is one of my favorite painters. I wonder how you feel about him, being an art aficionado yourself? And all the snow evaporated that day!

I like Seurat, but I wasn’t familiar with this painting. I love how the clouds and the snow mirror each other. We’ve been getting a lot of snow recently, and I don’t think winter is going anywhere soon… So I appreciated your poem even more. 🙂

You’re right, he does mirror them. I think that’s what I liked about it. I’d never seen this style from him before I went looking for paintings of snow, but I really like the “messiness” of it.
I’m humbled that you appreciated the poem. Winter’s not going anywhere here either 🙂
