This week’s photo prompt is provided by Barb CT of the blog, Gallimaufry. Thank you Barb!
THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “A Village Cat” by Anne Porter: living, under, decorated, daubs, smudges, streaks, clown, carnival, gaze, wonder, back, eyes
I gaze at the tidewater and I wonder when
Wisteria by the sea as I daub my eyes then
I step back living under penetralia
The breeze occur as I wait for a faceless huh
Streaks of fake joy like a carnival cha-cha
Smudges of sharp guilt of a clown drama
Mute prayer as I look for you at the delta
My guts tell me it comes in different forms, karma
As seagulls fly over me I reflect my Zen
I look at the sea and hope to see you again*

Lovely poem, Lady Lee! It goes nicely with the photo prompt. I messed up and sent out my challenge a day early and the link is now opened. You can link your poem up to the InLinkz Story Board now. Sorry, I’m not able to link them for ya’ll anymore because it no longer gives me the link in order to do so.
