Waxing poetic

I've never participated in Miss Rumphius' poetry challenge before, but since my 15 Words or Less poem sort of wrote itself this morning, I'm still feeling poetic so I checked it out.

This poem is based on an arresting photo.   As always, I don't read anyone else's take on the photo before writing my own and I take just 5 minutes.  If I can't come up with something in 5 minutes, I take a pass.

This is another one that "wrote itself"

 

Questions

Black and white
and read all over.

But who can read?
And have we read?

Or have we papered over?

Five minutes? Your poems amaze me.

I like it very much.

So few words, such deep impact. The photo conveyed story...your words completed the thought.

(I've always wanted to take part in her carnival...I guess I feel like I'm unworthy??? Too strong a word, but I'm intimidated. This week she has Terza Rima for form, so I thought I might link the ones I did for PPL.)
