Jackson Pollock and others like him

Hi. For this contest I want a piece of poetry inspired from your favorite artwork. Painting or sculpture is fine. If you can post of picture of it with your poem, please do so. If you can't, then please put a link in the comments so I can look at it.

Painting above is Jackson Pollock Number One.

Please do not have your poem in another contest while it is in mine. I will remove it without notice.

Thank you so much, I really look forward to these entries.

I am extending the contest a couple of days to try to get more entries.

close the door and we'll bar it,
