What does this photo say to you?
I’m thinking we’ll do this every week … maybe more… with a new photo.
Write a short poem or lyric about what you feel when you see this photo. Does it speak to you? Speak to it. Speak to us.
Share your thoughts, words, and your poetry invoking photos with us as well in the comments. I’ll push them to posts as they come in. Hope you share yours.
Peace,
Jo

these
red walls
of need
built from
constant
hunger
waiting
for you
for less
than
asking
set them
free
purify
your
soul

alignment
unanswered questions
belief is
just
the beginning
define the
answers
or
no one else will

profound desire
to swim
through the oceans
and soar
to the stars
sacred powers
given from god?
a continued
fascination
what a story
we swallowed
it whole

mind your life
not a clue
its our order
strong as it appears
mange it carefully
perennially
or doom
the treasure
to the
attention
of
eternal
time

once again i awake
at the top
a playground of
etiquette
entering the air
not to be ignored
a diamond glints
antiquated
no actual exchange
of moral code
a religious view
grows denser
near the nickel and dime
think of
the reasoning
behind
all
that

a botched job
you dare to uphold
a debate
preserved
for posterity
to create
overpriviledged
design
a tortured tomb
a final resting place
a granite sarcophagus
well protected
dependent upon
that which
they do not
need to
know

disconnected
in real life
and real feelings
such gems
songs of reason
he wanted everyone
to care
opened up
and witnessed
the emptiness
do we need
the silver
exosed to light
polished ever brighter
in the dark
filled with
signs in
a glowing labyrinth
of total darkness

welcome to earth
population
of kings
a world of luxury
forbidden
palaces
of power
declaring war
on nature
an advancing army
unguarded walls
a facade
covering up
the burn
whitewashed
and sealed
more effective
impenetrable
but there is
an
intruder

no sign of it
on me
but if they would
or
if i like
or need
from others
something
not so extreme
with
coats wide open
and no city lights
to see
they could have
a spectacle
inside these
double doors
these weapons
are
the result of
other things
or i could
just talk to
myself
even then
