Poem for the day

It certainly does have a nice atmousphere, and I was a bit lost in some of the lines but had a think and a quick google and it all became clear.. I might print it off , it certainly reminds me of seaside holidays we took long ago .

thankyou for posting it.

Bathers by Seurat.

Yes, I like the atmosphere too and somehow it doesn't much matter that I don't know what she means by "I scan for points of my heart's hue". The poem so perfectly evokes the 'day at the seaside' - a sort of happy, warm, soporific, atmosphere with the blended sounds of children, boats, gulls, waves, people talking. I can almost smell the seaweed

I am assuming that the word "points" refers to Seurat's painting technique, but why "my heart's hue"? All suggestions welcomed!

I think she is again referring to her children, her heart's hue is the colours of her beloved children and their clothing in amongst the waves, the point is the direction they are in, constantly checking they are safe. I still do this with DBH&Son when we go to the beach!

Good thought jane - I think you are right.

Thanks for posting the picture tanith.

That's my thought also, janer.
