Would love to read any comments people have; no need for false praise, as I have a thick skin regarding my admittedly amateur poetry. For more explanation on ekphrastic poetry, see this link to a lonely question:

Viewing "Water Lilies"
Quick glances find canvas
spread with serenity,
a soothing glimpse of
undisturbed pond.
Look again:
closer looks show
points of color
bursting, a
pondscape teeming -
proletariat minutiae
quietly rebelling as the
whole struggles to quell
microcosmic uprisings.
Any comments on an ekphrasis of "Water Lilies"?
I like it, it reads very well. Is it a Marxist interpretation of Monet??? (proletariat minutiae? class struggle in the pond?). I am not very fond of that painting (those paintings, rather. Maybe seen too often and everywhere) but your poem offers new perspectives.
