Delicately swaying in the arms of few besotted men
etched forever so gloriously in splendid La Danse a Bougival
of Peintre Auguste Pierre Renoir wondering how and when
stamping toe to toe, beating chest to chest raising toasts, few umps
Embraced taut in the grip of one armored sturdy French man
Chiseled out of the luxurious wines of the valleys of Normandy
Slender waisted damsel gliding, drifting on high heels of fancies
Though shy, at times very coy but never turning away from the joys
The florescent twilight toying with the flickering lights due credit to
master peintre Renoir’s enthralling lush colors and bewitching fine strokes
Dazzling splashes of brighter crimson, flirty hues of purples and violets
unveiling the naive beauties of heavy bosomed youthfulness
Times of our lives when the lofty dreams knew no bounds
And hope cascaded like transient bubbles of French champagnes
Awestruck Poets like me gotten old with the narrow passages of time
But Pientre Renoir’s La Danse a Bougival gilded a youthful ruby
etched forever in our hearts so gloriously.

A lovely painting that inspired a lovely poem.
On a few occasions I met Auguste Pierre Renoir’s great grandson Manuel Renoir.
He owned a sparkling mineral water bottling company in the Canadian province of Alberta called Renoir Sparkling Water.
Wow, that so interesting, never knew his great grandson has mineral bottle company, great artist. My blogger friend inspired me to write a poem while we both were awestruck by the beauty of his works. Great painter! Next time you meet great grandson do tell his grandfather is fondly remembered ::)
