At dVerse Mish is hosting Poetics – “You have probably assumed I am asking you to use juxtaposition in your poem today. Correct! In addition to that, I am offering you a visual element for inspiration.
From the images below, choose two that YOU feel could create a contrast. Then use them as a foundation to build your poem. Combine sensory details that conflict with each other. Blend the concrete with the abstract. You can even shift between environments or periods of time. A shorter poem may have greater impact, but of course any style you would like to work with is fine. If you are not moved by any of the images provided, feel free to use your own.
Where do the images take you? How do they compare? How do they relate? Could metaphors explain how they are connected? What is the message? Is there an element of hypocrisy or irony? Could one of them be the subject and the other, the atmosphere, mood or setting? What happens when you blend them? Do they ignite tension that needs resolution?”
dVerse Poets – Poetics – A Tale Of Two Images
I chose the following images

Whether The Weather
As to the question
will it or won’t it
my window offers
the best possibility
of approximating
an answer, whereas
old barometer seems
somewhat churlish,
unlikely to deliver
anything precise while
weather app is
inconclusive with lots
of maybe, maybe not
truth is, something’s
going to happen but then
another question arises,
will it be feast or famine?
