Day 21 ... NaPoWriMo / Poem-a-Day 2019

Maureen Thorson’s NaPoWriMo prompt: “Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that . . . incorporates wild, surreal images. Try to play around with writing that doesn’t make formal sense, but which engages all the senses and involves dream-logic.” Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-a-Day prompt: “For today’s prompt, write a sketch poem. My initial thought is to write a poem that’s like a sketch of a moment or an object. But you can play around with sketchy people or situations. Or just sketch something else together.” Today, to meld the two prompts, I’ve written an ekphrastic poem of a sketch by Salvador Dalí. One haiku, strict 5-7-5.
