Tis is a uniqhe idea of the wonderment and 'awe' we get when viewing a masterpiece, Sue. I get it every time I read one of my poems! LMAO!
The 'old' stuff still fascinates the new.
Good luck n love, Ray xx

Hi Sue, thanks for joining the contest. A fine composition. I guess you're picturing the gallery of the master painters. Wish you all the best with this.

    Yes. It's amazing that every time I go to our museum, how one piece, that I've seen many times, can affect me. Saw an El Greco a few weeks ago which I just had to sit down and get lost in. Great contest. I've never heard of this form, but really like it. Sue :-)

    Have you entered the "Blitz Poem" contest? I hesitated at first, but when I began to write it (still unfinished), I'm enjoying it so much. It might just be your cup of tea!

    I used to see it before and I noted the current contest. hmm... not sure I'm not yet inspired to try it lol. 50 lines, right? actually i don't really fancy long poem, but we'll see. good luck with yours. :)

I see you have been visiting Museums...I like to go there also. Your Septolet Poem is very insightful because in a few words you can paint volumes of awe.

HI Sue...
I Love it~
Especially the closing verse. I may have to try a septolet...I love short forms that speak volumes.

This is a fine tribute poem. NO nits.

Best of luck in the contest.

Loving light,
rama devi

They certainly do leave a legacy - old palettes renew the senses of people who live long after the masters have died - this is a strong sepolet, Sue. Brooke

Sue - Septolet Poem? You've graduated from the 12 syllable poems I see. Nice sentiment about the masters of art. And good luck in the contest. Charlie

    Charlie, one day, I'm going to shock you and write a one word (one syllable) poem. LOL!!!! Thanks for your great review. You're a hoot! Sue :-))

Great job with this septolet form--I looked it up on the internet and found a reference from 2006 that said its author was unknown and the break should be between the 4th and 5th line, the way you constructed yours. You know how much I like art; I really enjoyed the topic and thought you created a great title. I also liked your bonus of alliteration.

    Joan, yes, I do know how much you like art! And very glad you enjoyed this little piece about art. Thanks very much for your very generous review. I will have to look up that reference on where the break is to take place. I've seen others write theirs in many ways, but I took the example given in the prompt, feeling that was, perhaps, the proper way. Cheers! sue
