Trees are twisted with no leaves
The sky is a greyish blue
The mood is dark there is concrete
Too much blue eye shadow
Maybe or something else and barbwire
I cannot quite place
I am missing you where are your shoes
Where are you can you
Put them back on
Let’s have a tea party
Crumpets and an earl grey

This is wonderful, Pamela .. dark and unsettling. My favorite lines: "I am missing you where are your shoes Where are you can you Put them back on." That extra pair of shoes under the table is a so mysterious!
ReplyDeleteSurreal lines for a surreal picture, Pamela!

Derrick thanks for that!

Phew, Nicely, perhaps if this tea doesn't make your eyes turn blue, it makes you invisible!
ReplyDeleteInteresting thing, interpretation. I saw the shoes as filled, just detached. You saw them as empty, needing to be refilled. Love the way you set the scene:

There is a concrete feel to this.A surreal dream quality. I can hear echos in this poem.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Twinings English Breakfast with my
crumpets with honey.Just thought I 'd let you know in case I ever pop over.
Could be Andy.
ReplyDeleteyou never know!
Thanks

ReplyDeleteThanks and this painting certainly helped. Very interesting I would love to know what Charles was thinking of when he painted this.
I will take note on the tea and of course crumpets have to have honey!
Cheers
Pamela
I liked the last couplet in this.

I like the disoriented feeling of your poem, it fits well with the painting. Crumpets do sound nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Linda.

ReplyDeleteThe painting has a very disorienting feeling and I would love some crumpets right now.
Pamela
I like the way you've delved into the imagination of a lost little girl.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stan.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is very interesting and invokes many thoughts.
Pamela
sipping my cooling Earl Grey it occurs to me that I've never had a crumpet.
ReplyDeleteSuper setting! There is an imprisoned feel to the starkness. Wintery. "or something else...I cannot place"
You get a lot into some spare lines, gal.
Thanks Barb!
ReplyDeleteyou should look up a recipe for crumpets online. I think you would enjoy them. BTW no one has ever called me gal I kind of like it ;)

Pamela, liked there were many things here that seemed un-knowable until the end, which I interpret as love and optimism - it's been dark and bad, but let's freshen up and have tea, and won't it be better?

ReplyDeleteThanks and as far as love well not so sure but always optimistic.
