Figure Eight/ Franz Kline/ 1952
FOR THIS WEEK'S Mag...a Pantoum..for Tess, at Magpie Tales.
CIRCLET
There's something about a crown of thorns
separated from the rose
all dread, no green days left
piercing all that's luminous.
Separated from the rose
there's nothing good about a crown of thorns
piercing all that's luminous
a clasp of barbs to pinch the skull.
There's nothing good about a crown of thorns
rests in the minds eye forever
a clasp of barbs to pinch the skull
once seen, never denied.
Rests in the mind's eye forever
all dread, no green days left
once seen, never denied
there's something about a crown of thorns.

there is something about a crown of thorns...and i def never would have wanted to wear one...i am glad the rose did and kinda glad i did not have to see it...
There's nothing left on separation, each making the best of what's left.
Great pantoum, Lyn!

Your pantoum works so well for the iconic image of a crown of thorns, Lyn. 'All dead, no green days left.' stays with me. Your words are as powerful as the painted image by Kline. Thank you for sharing.
Always happy to stop by and never disappointed. Yes, great pantoum, Lyn!

Yes I see it too...a crown of thorns is so powerful...so dark and symbolic...brilliant, Lyn...
Crown of thorns -wow- good image!
This has a life of its own , Lyn , very moving, may all gour Crowns of thorns become wreaths in due course, all wreaths or all thorns is no good! , the wreath , the ring of Prometheus, or Michael , who urges us all to be more ! . Thanks .

Absolutely nothing good - it draws blood and gives intense pain.
Excellent read - thank you Lyn.
