There is an explosion of green life in the light, <br />This life extrapolates all its emerald green. <br />This life needs its eternity to be as tight <br />And as deep as needed her own son an ice queen. <br /> <br /> <br />And all the colors of the rainbow may be seen <br />In different amounts to the different shades. <br />Blue irises are placed in a complex world of green. <br />Into the flower bed, these flowers are like spades. <br /> <br />They need to reassure, as Pantone may suggest, <br />This world of mystery, which no longer exits. <br />With pale neutral yellow tongs, they're in great request, <br />With neutral yellow thoughts, they please the Queen of White. <br /> <br /> <br />Alongside darker colors, neutral things sustain <br />The balance of thoughts serving as background to pray. <br />The warm cadmium yellow may accidentally drain <br />The bad spirits and irises keep them away. <br /> <br /> <br />Van Gogh used such a small amount of indigo, <br />While this indigo conveys truthfulness and trust, <br />But his emerald green was like a piccolo, <br />And through this emerald his world was readjust. <br /> <br /> <br />Using the bright head against the rich blue background, <br />Van Gogh sent messages writing with his colors. <br />In an ochre's religious fight, he lost his ear's sound <br />To purify this world, where the thought discolors. <br /> <br />MCN: C7YFX-N68R2-2YAHJ <br /> <br />© copyright Tue Jan 31 UTC 2012 - All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Marieta Maglas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/irises-a-painting-by-vincent-van-gogh-ekphrastic-poetry/
