Day 25 -- NaPoWriMo 2019
Luck of the Draw
The more I look the more I see
First I was seeing tapestry
Then I saw streamers to the floor
Quickly realized theirs was more
The more I looked the more I saw
Behind the streamers was a draw
The floor began to rise until
Until there was you on the sill
The more I look the more I want
Wished you were alive not so gaunt
Plumped and prime and could come with me
Off your ledge, meet my family
The more I looked the more I knew
You can't be real dreams don't come true

This one makes me smile. Thank you.
Bittersweetness
I feel like you really explored the art with your words Jim.
Goodness, you saw a lot in the image. Awesome!
Isn’t it amazing how every viewer sees something different in a piece of art? It has to be the way they look at it.
The more you look the more you find... maybe even Waldo is there.
You transcended anything I can see, and that is what poetry is all about! Wonderful write!
