The Uncertainty of the Poet

The Uncertainty of the Poet - Giorgio de Chirico

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Riding on the train of uncertainty
in life can be a dangerous
adventure

tracks shift with little notice
leading into places unknown

full steam ahead 

testing your flexibility, is your spirit
made of marble hardened by strife
preferring to hide in the shadows
of the archway of yesterday 

caught in the art of still life

ripening bananas in the warmth
of the sun's glow does an appetite
for art grow

swimming in turquoise waters
head is in the clouds drifting
away with the poems of the day

Grace has offered some prompt ideas for open link night

  2. I love your positive spin on the theme - full steam ahead. Specially this part:
    ripening bananas in the warmth
    of the sun's glow does an appetite
    for art grow

  6. Knowing the tracks shift unexpectedly periodically you still choose to charge straight ahead. That is awesome. Thank you for posting this.
