Barren
Stretched out
Naked
and
ReachingAbortion
due to seasonUnclothed,
Anticipating the embrace,
The white, crystal cloak
soon to bare over…
Blistering winds
do shake the buds,
Your ovaries
left
in cryogenic sleep,yet
the
beauty
of your form
the
intricacies
of your fingers
the
vulgarity
in your structure…Imagery savored in pixels
Your nakedness
relished
till yet another season…
Today @ dVerse Poets, Brian Miller is hosting Poetics and the prompt is based on photographic art inspiration (Photograph all provided by SueAnn) … Feel free to join in the fun! π
Thanks Brian! π

The barren and beautiful play well together….very much the season…

I am glad you explained your use of the word ‘abortion.’ From your words and some of the other comments I thought it referred to something else. One definitely can see the structure of trees easier without leaves, and as Grace said there is beauty in this nakedness.

A very strong, bold write. The same lines stuck with me. What impressed me most was that the word choices seemed natural, not force, or looked up. It really read like I was hearing from you; authentic.

The art as metaphor, the human condition as counter-metaphor – the freeze, the thaw, the season all so uniquely told – quite post modern, I believe!

The comparison is apt. Some painters “see” the nude beneath the dress and some landscape artists prefer to paint their trees in winter when the structure is revealed.
