Bastille Day
La Grande Fête
written by: Pardee Lowe Jr.
Color a-burst!
Quite a splash
Or rather splashes
Where’s the realism?
The impressionism?
The pointillism?
If this were Vincent’s only painting
He would be called a modern!
Hide and seek among the splashes.
Can you find the people with umbrellas
celebrating?
The fireworks?
The flags?
Quite a rout!
Exuberance overall!
