A moment in time a moment of reflection
Life has been in turmoil on many occasions
Never had it been this way
Impinged on life every day
Invisible to the naked eye but such destruction
Wither the answer on many minds asking
It gets tedious with eyes closed, frightening
Innocent lives are waiting
Sadly it is long in coming
Scary as it progressed, come by the vaccine
Lillian's at d'Verse's Poetic - let your
words be a paintbrush
Wonderful Hank, most thoughtful poem indeed.

Well....you've really dealt into the political here....using the 12 given words from another prompt. The write itself is thought provoking. But, since this is my dVerse prompt, using the fine artwork of Catrin, I'm afraid I don't see much connection to her image other than the words "They spawn flowers above the ground varied of colours and textures." She has such a beautiful face here....there's so much to the image. I just don't see the connection to the poem. Maybe just me? But it feels like perhaps the main response was to the 12 word prompt, and you also wanted dVerse folks to see it so you had to use an image and put the words I mentioned above in it? Maybe it's just me.
ReplyDeleteI do think it's a thought provoking piece....I just honestly don't see the connection to the image.
You are very right Lillian, Ma'am, apologies! Kindly allow Hank to do a little bit of legwork forthwith and create a better connection to make it more acceptable. Thanks a lot.
DeleteGreat line here: "an unseen virus intrusion that turned turtle" A very topical spin.
ReplyDeleteExpressing the thoughts of many with your poem, Hank.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Hank, but sad we are all going through this.
