Poem Artwork

There before her

Was the immense happening.

The happening looked back at her

In all its ferocious honesty.

She could not look away.

The perfect poem to accompany this stunning silhouette. Love it. Watching indeed! You have said so much more with so much less (with the help of the pic of course).

Brief, and leaves a great deal for imagination.

I really liked your image. Like the poem brief, like a Lennon or Picasso sketch.

My mother never had any time to sit and draw. But when she did, she drew something that she must've doodled on her notebooks in high school. On one sheet of paper, she could quickly draw several profiles of beautiful women faces, just like yours very quickly while we were playing cards or doing something else. That was her only drawing talent that I know. Thank you for bringing back that wonderful memory of my mother's drawing talent that I envied because I couldn't do it. ;-)

Intriguing, especially the use of words "immense" and "ferocious", a unique way to draw attention to "Happening" and "honesty". The dichotomy of the juxtaposition says so much and sets the reader up for expectations of mystery and definitely, reward. Not being able to look away leaves the reader in an enigmatic state of mind. Wonderful use of so few words.
