Red Spot II, Wassily Kandinsky 1921 |
A cornucopia devoid of all its plenty
Wealth poured away
The horn is empty
A crooked path runs through the arch
A sudden stop
In its winding march
A firework frenzy of wheels and rockets
A red-hot tongue
And empty sockets
Cells mutating on a glass slide
Distorting vision
Nowhere to hide

I like the red tongue idea. "Nowhere to hide" is a pretty scary notion though. Nice work!

The sign of great art. It invites us all to own it through interpretation. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is great.....I recently started following another blog that does this too, and never realized it was a weekly thing....till now....I like how you depicted this!
