Words

For The Mag and Imaginary Garden With Real Toads
Chair With the Wings of a Vulture, 1960, Salvador Dali 
Wings grow to hide my wall
Fiery lights run hurt away
Thorns in palms fester
Blister on blister turn callous
You toughen
Grow stronger
Build a wall inside
Learn to wear gloves
So nothing can hurt

The Mag 157 Venus de Milo With Drawers...

Every Sunday I await Tess Kincaid's unique writing challenges to be inspired by her visual prompts.  Never letting us down, today she present Venus de Milo with Drawers by Salvador Dali.  Join the challenge and read other pieces that were borne from this very different visual prompt today.  No guidelines in regards to style, keep it clean and link up at Magpie Tales.
Imagine Venus with drawers
She already had a cloth
What she needed was arms
But at her loss we scoff

Dali gave her knobs instead 
And places to hide your stuff
Although this adds depth and use
Having arms would be a plus

I admire Dali's talent
But fear inside his head
I would add a one drawer wonder
By installing a jack-in-the-box instead

The Mag 135


Venus and The Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali is our artistic prompt from Tess Kincaid this week.  A delightful exercise and definitely a challenge.

I chose few words and an even smaller portion of the picture.

I am always amazed at the multitude of wonderful creations that are born from the same visual prompt.

Thanks, Tess!


 Life kicks out
Crying out to be lived
There are no sounds
The Sands silence them.
