Lee Plaza Hotel, Detroit, photo by Bonnie Beechler
Nothing pleased
the eye. Life has intruded as unwelcomed artist, corrected the content of
apparently conservative atmosphere.
The polyglot parrot swallowed overdose of calcium, -
left bare walls and hearts, flew in unknown direction.
The curious visitors, the pigeons, imprinted their
questions into the floor in black and white.
The ceiling silently watched the happening with
swollen from frequent tantrums eyes.
It has been two weeks since a poltergeist started the
storm. Light corks flew regularly at the end of the day, crossing the area with
anomalous phenomena…
New residents’ furniture was stacked in the living
room, blocking the window and balcony door.
The plants, have grown in the favorable soil, were
uprooted.

ReplyDeleteWhat a storm it must have been ~ I specially like this part: Life has intruded as unwelcomed artist ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Real Toads Sunday's Challenge ~ Happy week to you ~
ha. interesting....the pigeons complaints in black and white on the floor made me laugh...surreal all around that...
ReplyDeleteA blocked view as much comes due, can sure leave one blind to all around
ReplyDeleteI guess the choice for the artist was: A crap painting of beauty, or a beautiful painting of crap! Either way, it is hardly uplifting, but we must admit it is well done, as is your poetic comment.
ReplyDeleteI love your bit about the parrot and pigeons.
ReplyDeleteNicely done....thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThe second image helps to read the poem as it reads the first image. Sometimes ruin is the most honest portrait.
ReplyDeleteAh.. Those poltergeist... I like the humor of corks flying with that ominous feeling of birds taking over.
ReplyDeleteTruly your life and your art are one and the same ! ....the way of the warrior , as Carlos would say
ReplyDeleteCheers Hum
well expressed. i could feel those that resided there before and the whirlwind left behind by intruders entering into the abandoned space, the pigeons.
ReplyDeletegracias
This is an intriguing blend of two picture challenges. I don't feel the second as strongly as the first, but it is touched on in the uprooted trees.
ReplyDeletethe pigeons, imprinted their questions into the floor in black and white... and the poltergeist...ha... turning things upside down..
ReplyDeleteInteresting take on this. :)
