This poem is based on a painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
WOMAN
20 years have passed since we got married
Our feelings haven’t changed, our love is the same
Without my husband I wouldn’t be who I am today
I wake up every morning, with him by my side
I wake up every morning, with my hurt beating utterly fast
The air is sweet, my life is complete
The sun brights, my smile shine shines
The smell of his hair, the strength of his arms
He is like an angel, that glitter in my eyes
If I were a swallow which had to fly away
I wouldn’t go, I would stay
With my man, the love of my life, I would always remain
MAN
20 years have passed since we got married
But my feelings have changed, my love is not the same
Without my wife, I would be on my clandestine love’s way
I wake up every morning with her perfume on my mind
I wake up every morning with my heart in another house
The air is cold, I need to hear her voice
The sun doesn’t shine if I am not by her side
The movement of her lips, the fragrance of her skin
She is like the moon, that light my lonely nights
If I were a swallow, I would fly away,
I would enjoy my freedom, I wouldn’t stay
With my dearest secret love, I would always remain
20 years have passed since we got married
Our feelings haven’t changed, our love is the same
Without my husband I wouldn’t be who I am today
I wake up every morning, with him by my side
I wake up every morning, with my hurt beating utterly fast
The air is sweet, my life is complete
The sun brights, my smile shine shines
The smell of his hair, the strength of his arms
He is like an angel, that glitter in my eyes
If I were a swallow which had to fly away
I wouldn’t go, I would stay
With my man, the love of my life, I would always remain
MAN
20 years have passed since we got married
But my feelings have changed, my love is not the same
Without my wife, I would be on my clandestine love’s way
I wake up every morning with her perfume on my mind
I wake up every morning with my heart in another house
The air is cold, I need to hear her voice
The sun doesn’t shine if I am not by her side
The movement of her lips, the fragrance of her skin
She is like the moon, that light my lonely nights
If I were a swallow, I would fly away,
I would enjoy my freedom, I wouldn’t stay
With my dearest secret love, I would always remain
Nice poem! Now, let's learn something about the painter and his work.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 – 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the 
Impressionist style. He was a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality and he was so passionate about painting that he even continued when he was old and suffering from severe arthritis. However, he painted with the brush tied to his wrists.
Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions. The female nude was one of his primary subjects. He enjoyed the Impressionist style and he liked to paint outdoor scenes showing everyday people dancing and having a good time. In these paintings Renoir mastered the display of light in a way that makes these scenes so vivid and spontaneous.
In characteristic Impressionist style, Renoir suggested the details of a scene through freely brushed touches of color, so that his figures softly fuse with one another and their surroundings. The works of his early maturity were typically Impressionist snapshots of real life, full of sparkling colour and light.
