What Do You See Now? (round 3)

Look carefully at the picture prompt, letting your gaze settle on it. Then try to look through it, focusing behind it. Let the lines move. Then write me a poem, telling me what you see. Any style, any length, rhyming or not, it's up to you.

This is Round 3 of a six round contest. From Rounds 1 and 2 we have already "As the sun rises, life quickens. The green fuse curls, unfurls..." Cut to Round 3.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 21, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for looking, and thinking, and writing for this contest. The name of the window is "Flying", and the words that accompany it are 'flies high to the sky' I made it using left-over pieces of glass, negative pieces, and assembled it without conscious design, as the dadaists tried with automatic writing. I was thinking of my father, and why he needed to fly.

    So, after Round 3, we have "As the sun rises, life quickens. The green fuse curls, unfurls, flies high to the sky" Cut to Round 4, posting today. Thank you all again.
