Through dawn’s broad ray of light
Swarmed Mish-Mosh Marrow, with delight
Ever seeking to enhance
A lovely body to create and dance…
Marrow twisted, sought to form
Beings tall, with hearts so warm
Ever seeking to enhance
Virile bodies, beginning their dance…
Unbidden, then, Case did land
Capturing Marrow in it’s band-
Plexiglas and airless manse-
“Conform,” cried Case, “you’ll never dance!”
Marrow writhed, churning inside
Forming bits, creative stride,
Never stopping, with expanse,
Showing all who’d look an eternal dance.
Notice, singular ray of light
Burning beacon, beckoning bright
Illumining Marrow, twisted by chance
Inside Case, unafraid to dance.
You looked at this picture of bones and found a quite a tale. I love the spiritedness in your words, and that lack of fear.
thanks…seemed like Marrow is the inner being, the essence, so started there. it just kind of came out, which is how i love to write!
I also love the challenge of keeping it to 100 words! QUite a trick, sometimes!
I absolutely love this. A dance of words with such deeper meaning.
thank you…it was fun to do as well…I love these photo prompts. they bring such an array of responses!
What a lovely piece. Well done. x
I’m glad you responded. 🙂
I love how the words Mish-Mosh-Marrow feel in my mouth! This one needs to be read aloud not just in your head.
Thank you! I write pretty closely to how I speak… 🙂
A very different take on the prompt. As Sally-Jayne said – it need to be read aloud. Nice one.
What a unique and imaginative take! excellent 🙂
Fantastic! How do you do it?!!
How clever to use the name Marrow and also be referring to inner essence. I’m glad natural marrow does not completely conform to man-made plexiglass case.
I’m pretty spiritual ( i think, anyway…) and it just seemed a natural extension. Glad you commented. Thanks!
