1.stick figure authority
placing eraser people
in frayed nooses
2.eggshell egos wrapped in barbwire
piercing embryos of a complacent genesis
while ghosts remove splinters from the ass of a schoolboy christ
climbing trees during recess
to receive visions of falling into a cave
rooster less
3. surreal symbiosis
seeps and drips
like a volatile contagion of mercurial wonder
tainting and tracing poisoned coils of the mind
4. infant zombies of wasted intellect
are boggled in a bog of bile
wishing for ruby slippers
or a fast way home
where they can plot conspiracies
with a cannibal tribe
to sodomize angels who tease
5. monsters
mimicking a row of morbid mannequins
aping plastic representations of plastic duplications
in a bankrupt world
sold to aging doctors of counterfeit pyromania
6.abortion of cthulu pulls soft chains of self sacrifice
telekineticly orchestrating empty chairs
as chalkboard scratched symphonies raise awareness
and a few krakken of societal neglect
shipwreck a zeppelin of forethought
in the sparkling dismal sea of static abyss
7. snorting oxidized irony off the left tit of Medusa
and trading venom with her snakes
in a serpentine french
Author notes
opt 2, mental
first stanza was my initial response to pic
second was an intentional effort to expound with prompt still in forfront of mind (with some obvious and some obscure biblical references)
third , i began to slip into a stream of consciousness
fourth, dont ask LOL

Thankyou very much for entering this write into my contest. I am amazed by your vocabulary, the words that you have chosen are very well suited to each other and it is not often that I have found poems such as this which have such complex and deep meaning. I've read this through several times now and found I notice new things each time. This is my favourite stanza:
"2.eggshell egos wrapped in barbwire
piercing embryos of a complacent genesis
while ghosts remove splinters from the ass of a schoolboy christ
climbing trees during recess
to receive visions of falling into a cave
rooster less"
Thanks again for the fantastic write!!

Thanks, the second is my fav. as well, it carries the burden of the poem like a cross of lead.
-
-
from the illustration of the first you abstracted into a flow, wow, really went with it! I liked the seventh best (medusa btw)
-
-
thanx M, this one came in spurts and just kept getting more and more macabre as it went, and i still think there is a stanza or three missing.

You spun me straight from my hell and into an oblivion I am not sure I want any part of!! You scare me with your vocab intense imagery...But for a moment at least I wasnt part of my insanity!! Thank you for your entry
-
brilliant
i feel blank after reading this... in a good way. it has an excellent tearing down of the senses. "chalkboard scratched symphonies raise awareness" - it really erases anything else you might be thinking at the moment. really enjoyed it.

The many stages of disillusionment, playing on one steady scene of visualization. Hmmmmm.... I think I was more fond of numbers 4 & 5... That was totally cool and crazy lol!
-
-
like the blind leading the mad, or is that the oher way around? LOL thanks gal.
-
-
I loved the imagery of this piece. The 4th stanza my favourite.
-
Cool, hoss; though I think it would pack more punch with the art in there.
-
-
yeah, the pic does help, hope to tweek it later beyond graphic dependancy
-
-
kind of a weird poem, but i played it out in my head, that is a work of abstract alright, keep it flowing and good luck in the contest
