Emily Carr’s “Blunden Harbour,” 1931-2
On a wobbly wharf
a row of tall totem
elders, hands fisted,
stare sternly over
sea-green water,
guide boats home
like lighthouses.
Moored canoes bob
with each wave,
knock against rot.

Yummy !
One of the reasons I love LexPoMo — I get introduced to so many wonderful resources, like WikiArt. And can I say how much I like the sounds of “stare sternly” and “knock against rot”? You’ve really captured the art with your art.
Nice.
Love “knock against rot.” You absolutely captured the mood of this piece
Again, you really catch the mood of the painting. I especially love the short, hard sounds of the last line.
