Explosion

In a dreamlike setting,
Illustrated with dark drab browns
And deep shades of gold, lightly shading 
A bursting clock.

Action is suspended,
In a cloud of broken clock pieces,
From the moment of explosion.
Chronicling a time of immense pressure.







Inspired by the, 
“Soft Watch at the Moment of First Explosion"
By Salvador Dali

I went to an art exhibit of his in Florida years ago and his works of art are forever imprinted in my mind.Unforgetable...now that is an artist. I saw your comment on Constance's blog. If you wish to know the winners of your contest, you can go to the black area at the top of the poetry soup page. There is an area there to search for a poem or a poet. If you click on the poem and type in the title, it will find the poem and the author. Hope that helps. Lainie
