    • ]]>     I was inspired by Bottlecappie at Diary of a Quitter to participate in Mine Enemy Grows Older which is a collaborative poetry project run by Rick Mobbs.

    I have never in my life written poetry but I do love art. Since the whole concept of this project is to look at an image prompt, which is a work of art by Rick Mobbs, and see what it inspires out of you, I figured I would take a shot at it.

    So without further ado... Here is my first shot (I'm getting embarrassed already!) at poetry.

    No Containment
    There is a piece of me in all I see
    An infinite amount of connections that will always be
    I'm in the ground, in the sky, in the sun, in the moon
    I'm intertwined in the earth's continuous tune
    The shadows from the moon and the brightness from the sun
    Keeps our natural flow from coming undone
    Examine more closely and keep a lingering gaze
    For all of my surroundings should inspire and amaze
    Drift to sleep at night knowing one thing is true
    Your soul is connected to much more than just you

    Ok, so there you have it. I know, I know... poems don't have to rhyme but for now, this is as good as it gets from me. That was fun.
