Communing with Monet
Today we happened upon a house in Giverny huddled contentedly by fields where Monet's Muse strolled daily through the gently swaying poppy throng, past teeming birdsong hedgerows, where bold notes were fused in perfect synchronicity with Nature's mood We paused, imbibing watercolour splendour there, Inspired, I took my paintbox, harvested the scene... Voilà, the virtual scent of lilies fills the air. Bio: Margaret is a Laurel Prize nominated poet.
