The SLURL below will take you to Giverny, the SL version of Claud Monet's home in France.  There you will find a reproduction of the famous lily pond that Monet loved to paint, and an easel where you can try your hand at painting as well.

For your poem today, please write from Monet's perspective.  What would he have wanted to express in a poem about his home, gardens, painting, or life in general?
