FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Written for Tovli's 10 Word Picture Inspiration

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gone my facade when I see the black art blots...

this morning reality is caste before my eyes

into to the trap, sprung...

my naked thoughts laid bare

a crack in my psyche withers images

fight or flight emotions appear strong

but tissue thin as I open a pandora's box

I slip into the consciousness of now and caste away the then

that consume our sessions lately

"What do you see, you ask again"

Author's Note

Just for fun.

Using the picture for inspiration write a poem with exactly 10 lines using
all the the words: gone slip withers morning crack art trap consume flight tissue.
