NaPoWriMo 2019, Day 16

The prompt today is to write a poem " that uses the form of a list to defamiliarize the mundane. "

I wrote a list in the form of a series of haiku, because I am weird like that.

Crayola 8 Box

Red

Cranberry sunset

over a field of poppies --

clouds like red dragons.

Yellow

Ten-foot sunflowers,

marigolds, dandelions,

stars across the field.

Green

Faces in the leaves --

spirits of fertility

wherever you look.

Blue

The point at which

sea and sky join together --

seamless horizon.

Brown

Cocoa, coffee, wood,

and the mothering soil

that gives birth to all.

Orange

Clementine sunrise --

leaves float like swimming koi fish

in a citrus sky.

Purple

Mountains blend with sky.

Shadows become less defined

between day and night.

Black

Singularity --

hole in the fabric of space

leads to...who knows where? - Jeff Barnes
