An arc of embodiment
Decadent perfumed petticoats swirled to order
Power ****** from the sweat of the land
Stone hewn from its very foundations
A spider's web encloses the flowering art
Phoenician helmeted raiders
Roman taxing invaders
Trespassing Gaulish voices
Thumbed rosary transcenders
The dawn of a walled resistance
A Religious pandemic
Storming Carcistes
Razats rebel
Friends denounce their own
A castle evokes revolutionary fever
Ghosts reverberate running the embattlements
Proletarians open the walls
Guardians red and blue
White clergy take the souls
Swords discarded, a tricolore soars
Slaves to the chisel
Open pits for Vulcan to dip his toes
Gothic Cavernous quarried vaults
in search of Sade’s demons
Stone to shape Provencal style
Dereliction a Maquis delight
Refuging resistance and the persecuted
Destruction and collapse
Artisans and folk revive
Paint brushes to the fore
Transientents page the streets with blood red gold
A coat of arms rings its bell
Lowly hovels now adored
Gaping holes swallow the light
Sleepers enrichen the ground
Too long a museum
Stirring string notes
Cherups embrace their calling
Voices rouse the deities
Banners furl in mistral breaths
Spirits hightail Lacoste’s new allies
Iced sun rises over Luberons range
Warmth caresses the blood of day
School children playing, wake the sleepy
Warm stews vie with Pistou
Hallowed vines are groomed
Long walks with herbs to find
Boars try and outwit their hunters
Dogs smell the truffles afar
Ventoux snows cool the view
Cyclists roar through in celebration
Village a transforming microcosm
Artists absorb, evolving a creation
Animate habitants living and the vogue
A hearty cocooned culture emerging out into
longer days luring the coming spring

A living relic of medieval times
Saturated in fabled charisma
Restitched castle walls shimmer in the heat
Art juices flow through the streets
Words tumble along illustrated manuscripts
Paint turns blank canvas blue
Skies turn jubilant red with hints of refreshing showers
Voluminous sculptures evoke a Cardin phase
Student art invigorates tired walls
Artisans rustle up market stalls
Broad hats repel the sun
Sauntering through vine lanes
Grapes guzzling the photon rain
Sleepy bees trail the sun loving flowers
Painted toe nails coolly pool immersed
Patchwork and crotched fields
Yellow blocks of ****
Lines of planted eggs
Chokers of olive greens
Grecian dresses draped with vines
A folk festivity welcomes all
All generations meet as one
Donkey games for the children
Piñata to strike blindfolded
Watery cascade or sugary reward
Golden melons bred of illicit taste
Teased with smoked ham
Devoured for sweetness
Starter or desert just a joy
Perfect alongside un verre de rosé frais
Art flows in waves
Easels swell with students pride
Denizens welcoming hustling parades
Musical rhythms caress their acclivity
Spontaneously parties sprout in vogue
Dappled courtyards
Shaded from merciless sun rays
Fresh coffee odours
drifting through the broad sheets of La Provence
Or a game of chess to challenge Sade's En passant
Barbeque banquets sizzle amid ***** smoke
Bergers march their merguez sausages from North Africa
Mounted Templar knights attired in crowns of Lamb cutlets cry
Bandits torture skewered meat and pepper on their swords
Ice cream de 'Nicolas Perrault du Tinel' soothes the battled throats
Majestic butterflies flutter below
Glorious hunting eagles above
Arching swifts betwixt
Precarious lizards stalk on walls
Wood worm beetles feign a paparazzi pose
Vistas of amour grow the population
Craggy medieval outlines saturate the historians
Valleys of birth speak to the hikers
Cyclists infatuated with curvaceous plunges
Outdoor cinema merges into the panorama
Expectant visitors climb up to the chateau
Disenchanted not a soupçon of the marquis
Musical interludes from the bowels of Sades earth
Nightly cricket orchestras liberating ****** fantasies
Absorbing dark energy radiated by ****** constellations
Balmy evenings
Bats cleaning the air
Evening strolls arm in arm
Enchanted aromatic honeysuckle
Scented candles settle the ambiance
Salsa styled dancing for all
Legs and arms intertwined
Hot sweats and eyes aroused
The accordian sways in time
Necks laid bare
A distant majestic phantom liner lit by street lights
Docked in Bonnieux lingers for all to sleep
The moon rises over the masted ensign
Ups anchor and floats into the black abyss
Lighting the way for Provencal dreamers

Winters crushing silence, Lacoste’s new dawn
Art all consuming through empathic suave
And evocative frontiers
Lacoste in love with crafts enlightened beacon
Irregular lines devolve from medieval skeletal relics
Trompe-l'œil beggars ones belief
Windows framed empty
The eye drawn to its historical tone
A sweeping brush strokes the virginal canvas
Golden colours materialise within ones conceptional dream
A spatial aura now raked on pastoral hues
Sparten skies embodies synonymous revelations
Roberts chiselled forms soar out of soft stones erosion
Grains becomes a wash with the cream of gold
Flowers lay wanton to the stony mural
Echoing within each cranial abyss
Ambience sings to the wavering hand
Sprouting wings on the back of birds in song
Luberon’s wide shoulders cradles a fire from Martha's bellows
Beguiling the light illuminates each hillside easel
Materials cut from the heart of Cécile
Mounted on heady heights
Engages empowerment in nuptial bonding
Transitioning to unearth the wearer
Gaby finds his source in prehistory
Rumbling tractors stitching together the whispering landscape
Everts clay forms upon the Noahs ark prepare for the coming art uprising
Compatriote born of the land, immortalised in clay
Hérold crystallized forms evoke surreal echoes
Playing the open gambit of Le Sade agape
Empowering the village through their art
Artists of Lacoste forge an oeuvreal village from the jagged walls
Artsploitation a road to ones soul
Artspronouciation reaching the road
Art a levelling climate settles the crowd
Amity conjuring future artisan fingers
The nesting atelier
Fledglings prepare to dip a toe
Stretching wings in mind, body and soul
Freeing spirits of old

Reds and yellowing browns abound
Morphing landscapes transform portrait lines
Mellowing in summer Oils dancing with
deepening water colours on dusky days
Picture perfect colours
on soft crumbly walls
Fragments of stairways rise up into the past
Openings blocked, hide secrets past
Wild flowers grace battled walls
The last of the visitors absorb a growing space
Cultural vistas and quieter staging
Workers usher in darker days
Candles enlighten develing merriment
Champenoise tickling sensitive noses
Wine and juices mind sedating
Truffles caressing palated caverns
Salads party with sweet tomatoes
drizzled in olive oil
Summer adventure stories exchanged
Schools new starters torn from their mother's arms
Playgrounds emptied
Bells call to order obeyed
Last of the grape harvests
Wood stocked for winter fires
Bulging olive trees eyed for picking
Pickers make their way home
The season's start again
Young now older
The land sheds its skin
Only a visit to this village is now planned
