The Bride Wore Orange

La MarĂ­ee- 1950 Marc Chagall

The bride wore orange
and her groom adored
while the goat played swaying melodies
   on the cello in blue.
The groom stole a kiss
unseen by the fish 
who hovered over darkened rooftops
   on the night sky in blue.
The shadows danced
and she laid down her hands
while white-veiled she smiled 
   through the shades of blue.

I took an Art and ELA class for continuing ed credits and we were asked to write what the painting made us think of.  I was sitting fairly far back in the room and just decided to write a poem about LITERALLY what I could see happening.  :)
