A ‘Waltz Wave’
I
see you;
I
watch you
thoughtfully
each day;
I
know your
imprudent
indifference
towards me,
your home;
I
was here
before you;
and I
shall
survive
you
โWhat do you seeโ Prompt #169
The ‘waltz wave’ poem above was written for Sadjeโs weekly #WDYS prompt.
Sadje offers us this photo (to the right) of a green field, in the center of which is a flowerbed shaped like an eye and the flowers planted to give an impression the eye is staring directly forward. [Image credit: Egor Vikherv @ Unsplash]
Writers are to use this photograph as inspiration to produce art.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

I love this poem, David. โค Excellent perspective and I like the form.
It always deflates self-importance to see a very old tree. It was here before me and will probably be here long after I am gone!
