A ‘Waltz Wave’ poem
des- olate un- tended rocky fields of bro- ken promis- es and with- ered hopes rustle under swirl- ing vor- tex of un- familiar night skies that recall all
#WDYS prompt #182
For this week’s ‘What Do You See’ prompt, Sadje offers us the above image, created by Tasos Mansour, of a barren tree in an arid landscape. In the background, star trails form a pattern in the night sky.
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)

My pleasure.
We are often a field of jagged rock – sharp and dangerous to any who dare approach. We are the subject of quiet observation from the stars and moon – and we cannot hide!
