A late-night petite pen request on this busy Tuesday. 15-25 words divined from the painting “Higher Self” by Spooky Girl. If this image from the stars inspires you, pen me something cosmic.
Cosmic Grooming
She makes music when she speaks.
Her hymnal hair
full of potential kinetic energy;
her wavy soul, legacy.
Cells multiply,
gleefully die.
Time-consuming
cosmic grooming.

In the mirror
I see
The me
I’ll always be
Presence.
A blissful existence
Don’t know how cosmic that is, yet it was fun. Your poem is lovely, K. 💜

Perfect Ekphrastic poem K. I think you prove that brevity has great impact when done well.
I couldn’t resist a bash:
Our strings of hopes and dreams
Loop and sway,
Until one day
We snip them free
And watch them constellate
In bright array.
