EH 211: Writing Assignment "The Gentle Sea" Painting

Writer's picture: Sara LewterSara Lewter

Prompt: Describe the painting “The Gentle Sea“ by Matthew Wong (2017) without explicitly describing the painting in a poem.

The Tired Sun and his Gentle Sea Pulled down by the day’s weight,

His head can no longer hold itself up

His golden hair has lost its shine

And he sinks lower and lower

Slipping away from sight, As he goes to bed for the night

She sees the weight pulling him down,

But she is there to catch him if he falls

She spends her days observing him

Waiting to hide him from view And to cover him with her blanket of blues

For she never stops, and she never sleeps
