Title: Behind the picture
by Caitlin from Leicestershire | in writing, poetry
Floppy, blue, upside-down,
A new perspective,
Sky is ground.
Melted like a lump of cheese,
Draping, dangling
Easily.
Brown, spread-out, rubbery,
Pessimistic
Wretched beast,
Melted like a lump of choc,
Compressed and squashed
Depressingly.
Saddling, riding, blue
Astride the beast,
The wretched beast,
Melted like a lump of plastic,
Slumped and melancholy,
Unresisting.
Nibble on this orange clock,
Patter little feet.
Nibble, nibble,
Small black things,
On this melted
Feast.
Dreamy, odd, fanciful
A strange place
Is all around.
Melting like a lump of ice,
It drifts before me
Lazily.
This was inspired by Salvador Dali's surreal painting of melting clocks.
