Tonight’s prompt from Lisa @ #dverspoetrypub has looking at the bust she saw on a museum visits.
i have gone with the ekphrastic option because the picture rough edges by Elise Siegul reminded me of one of my older poems. here is a reworked version.
WHAT IF? Type 2
#EliseSiegul, #dversepoetrypub, #ekphastric,
What if the planet was just,
A disembodied head?
And us its many, many voices
What if you the master of the many?
Yes master of many crazy 🤪 voices,
Were the master of that head?
Would she be heard over the masses?
Or Could 7 billion voices in this head be wrong?
YES

#dversepoetry pub version
Rog, I like the rhymes hidden in the poem. Reading this I was reminded of the great film, “Zardoz” starring Sean Connery (in red leather, no less!) In it a flying head God rules.
Have a great long weekend, Rog. I know you will.

A very interesting thought, Rog! You know we seem to take the path of least resistance! We want our comfort not truth.
