Poem written for Friday Poetically Challenge
Can you reveal you
through popular images or
does your voice fade
like copies of copies
through popular images or
does your voice fade
like copies of copies
<br>
Just because you start
with recognizable words
and regress doesn't mean
you're not a tribute artist
<br>

<br>
I don't mind
if you don't have
a pedigree
as long as your
unique voice
speaks to me
<br>
if you don't have
a pedigree
as long as your
unique voice
speaks to me
<br>
Can you connect
the opposites
and show me how
we are one
while allowing me
a new way to see
something as mundane
as the sun
<br>

Don't show me your perfections
show me your blemishes
its not what the images can do for you
its what you can do for the images
show me your blemishes
its not what the images can do for you
its what you can do for the images
Awesome write to the prompt, Theron.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but the image you've chosen is a silkscreen called "Retroactive" by Robert Rauschenberg, who was a contemporary of Rosenquist's. Your poem does speak to what both artists do and I appreciate the statement.
