Word of the Day: Harmonious

          Shattered green, aquamarine, pink and broken blue —

Monet's water-lily pictures flicker in full view.

Fractured colours glimmer in harmonious display,

While his real-life garden shimmers some metres away.

          On the dappled drive back home, we spot some apple trees.

Our cousins climb and pluck their portion on the public street.

"Interdit! C'est quoi là?!"** A Frenchman shouts at us.

If we had Euro faces, would he make a fuss?

No point in hypotheticals. We all drive on in form.

Strong impressions to this day — breaking all the norms.
