Poetry Challenge # 2 or 3--" BE YE POETS OF VALOR !?!?"

[✿´¯`*•.Art of Poetry.•*´¯`✿-]

The premise is simple. An image is posted and we respond to it in poetry. I will start off with my own response which in NO WAY establishes a theme as the idea is the DIFFERENT places the same image can take us.  marK 

 

 

 

DREAM BOX BRAIN  

How did my brain

Get into this dreambox strange

Or are the brain and box the same

A camera turned on itself

Well met Sir RAIBEART, a poet of valor be ye indeed. I find myself paraphrasing Dr. Suess ll the time. I went into "Green Eggs and Ham" the other day when presented with some food ( brussells sprouts I think) I was not fond of. Thanks amigo and have a great Sunday.   marK

Here is my offering, marK: 

 

Yes,

I'm thinking outside the box. 

I see clearly the options out there.

But - oh, look where I am!

I wonder who turns the crank.

*************************

I thought your interpretation was engaging, which IMHO is the best thing one can say about a poem.  I hope we see some other good ones!

Thanks Todd

It would be cool to get enough folks contributing to do this on a regular basis. Always interesting to get the various perceptions. Hope this finds you well and happy   marK

LAMENT OF THE HEAD

In this box I sit in deep despair
open the lid my head pops up
my brain still working without repair
regrettably the body has given up

Actually that's just a random box since we were on a box theme. I should be posting another one soon.  marK

[2i3zz31iz74ww]

I agree friend. The creative process has always opened more doors of perception than anything else for me. Later amigo.   marK
