Bizarre Picture Contest

Just give me what the picture says to you. No literal descriptions. The picture is bizarre enough, give me something bizarre.

The usual rules apply.

*Good grammar
*Spelling
*Form
*Background and font colour readable
*No stupid writing
*If there is any chance whatsoever that your poem is not obvious enough, at least explain it in the author's notes. I am not a big fan of things that are so abstract that you cannot make heads nor tails of them.
*Have fun

I will give warnings once for any infractions.

At this time, it is for 300 for the Gold. If I get two more good entries, I will give out some for the second and third. And possibly HMs.

VERY IMPORTANT!
Place your name at the end of the poem. I do not do anonymous and I am not a gold member. And, as a heads up for those who will go "duh" later, put your username, and not your real name. I cannot check on your other work if I do not know who you are. If the name is not there by the close of the contest, you will be DQed.

      Sure. I have quite a few, but another is always welcome. There is another contest. You may want to look at it.

    Merry meet,

    Thank you for the honor of an Honorable Mention (not to mention the points, ) I was truly surprise to win anything considering the quality of poetry submitted. Thank you again for the Honorable Mention and points.
