At first glimpse of Laura’s photo for this week’s "15 Words or Less" poetry challenge, "mercury rising" popped into my mind. I’ve never seen the 1998 Bruce Willis thril
ler, so my apologies if it’s an unsavory association–ignorance…bliss, yes?
Here’s my quick poetic response to her image–if you’d like to try your hand, I know Laura would welcome you with open arms!
In youth, in ignorance,
Silvery, liquid beads
Were enigmatic delight–
Not poison.
Like sin sometimes….
I’ll be at SheSpeaks too! Look forward to meeting you there! 🙂
Very interesting
I like this! Both the photo and poem.
Thanks!
I like it.
