The lake

is a puddle of pink paint

reflecting clouds glistening Klimt gold

in a sky fixated on fuchsia.

Lovely! and Klimt is one of my fav artists…a copy of The Kiss hangs in my dining room.

  The clouds tonight had a shimmery iridescence, very reminiscent of Klimt’s work. The Kiss is lovely! 🙂

  Such a huge lake, to be a puddle of paint, to be sure, but it was astonishingly pink on my drive home this evening.

  Thanks! A little allusion is always good. I like to make my students step outside the poems… 😉
