Poem#3 – Untitled
For today’s poem, I used the prompt provided by Kirsty Logan, over at Shanna Germain’s Not Without Poetry challenge. Shanna has provided a wonderful forum for us to challenge ourselves as poets during the month of April, by writing, and posting a poem a day. It’s also a great way to meet fellow poets, and read some really cool work.

The truth is
irrelevant.
talking heads voicing opinions
of no consequence,
whatsoever.
We listen in rapt silence
to the white noise all around us
one hundred inch plasma
on every wall
At the airport,
an entire store
dedicated to the madness
The lobby is crowded
people streaming in from
the bitter cold
They said check your courage here.
We shucked our values
our beliefs
they were confiscated at
security
Their slant is evident.
but only if we open
our eyes.

I love where you go with this. I totally didn’t believe it was possible to work with those words or the photograph. But your poem is rich in imagery and insightful. Thanks.
Thank you, Lani Jo. When I first saw the prompt, I said the same thing. I had no idea where the poem was going at first, but I’m glad it kinda worked out, though. Thanks for stopping by.
Goodness, I love this one too! Thanks for writing and sharing all this. 🙂
Thank you Emerald, good to see you. This month is wearing me out (in a good way), and it’s only day 6!
