Well done, this is a hard picture to write about and you did it very well. This poem has great flow and is well written with an excellent rhythm. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you Isabella.

This is a very interesting piece. It definitely causes the reader to think about things. I like the way it flowed. It seemed to me that the lines were spaced a little too far apart - but Evil Eddie might have had his hand in this.

Justin, you have done a good job of interpreting the surreal picture we have to work with (my entry is till in progress) It has obviously touched a lot of people judging by the number of entries I have seen already.
Your choice of free verse works well, allowing you to cover most of the visual elements of the artwork and unlike others (including me) you don't try too hard to force a story onto it. It remains to be seen whether that is the right approach.....

Interesting take, on this enigmatic pic....wish I had done that! I fought to make sense of imagination....like analyzing a dream, and ended up with a sage of dubious distinction......LOL.
Good luck in the contest.....challenge well met :-)

Yeah like a dream within a dream. Thank you for your very kind review Leineco.

Excellent job & definitely the best poem I've seen so far, written about this artwork. The simplicity of your lines belies the complexity of your thoughts conveyed. I can't believe you noticed fishes swimming by (I didn't!) & you wove them into the scenario, yet it didn't seem to be "manufactured" gibberish to make mention of the fishes. It's really an integral part of the whole topsy-turvy vision. I love this! Good luck!

Truly melancholy,
although a reading of the original poem posted with the art provides some insight to the art.
The last line refers to eternal imagination, which reader feels also.

Comment from Glasstruth
Oh, how true. 'The eternal energies of the imagination' is what drives us, especially the writer. The line: 'Of the strange, sorrow-eyed lady.' is a good one, but can't help thinking that you're telling me how she looks instead of showing it. Overall, a wonderful presentation. Les

It does look like a floating head. Wonderful imagery you created with your clever words. I loved the phrase, "aquatic sky". Your right, it is a kind of a weird, surreal, psychedelic rock kind of poem. I liked it.

Hi Justin Chopin,
Your poem is definitely different, but an also interesting piece of word art. I enjoyed the read.
Congrats on it already receiving the ATB award. Bravo!!!

This is a mind altering poem from the author. I love the artwork, but then I love all of Mino Yasue's work. The writer builds on this with some very thought-provoking words.
