Puritan Life Still

Paper Poetry W5 Ekphrastic Prompt

The morning sun moved away — The pear on the table lay unbitten,

Air-less room breathes, Origami birds motionless, Cobwebbed mahogany chair un-still, rocks, Shadow lengthens, Time has acquired a stillness Thoughts, moods, lies despoil….

Colours trace the exit, Canvas comes alive — Un-flighted bird sways and twirls, The air inside settles in,

Pear, Paper bird, Prude, Existence water-marked Still in life, there is life still….***

***“The Pear, they say, has the sway of a female, with a line and profile quite divine and, some say, it’s erotic” — Pears for My Heirs Thank you Carolyn Hastings for giving a head start for my version of the prompt.
