Over in the Garden Izy asked us to write a poem using a favorite movie quote. I have trouble picking favorites, yet as I edited these photos an idea started to form.
I thought why not go with my first thought. So, I selected one of my favorite quotes in the movie, The Wizard of Oz. Close your eyes and you will see Dorothy tapping her ruby red slippers and saying:
"There's no place like home."
I had to include some yellow. See, the colors, red, yellow and green. They remind me of the movie. I think of the colors as symbols. Red-passion and anger, yellow-caution and green-go, discover, find.
Izy always gives us a twist. Her challenges are called 'Out of Standard'.
The Challenge:
Share with us your favorite line of movie dialogue and then embed it into a poem which is not related to that movie or the character who spoke it in anyway. Reinvent your standard for excellence. Bring us the unexpected.Color Map
Black as night
I wander lost in pale light
haunting thoughts blur
seeing red, not tickled pink
Green eyed monster
knows the grass
is greener on the other side
of the fence
Monster sees yellow bellied
white elephant on the lawn
dancing n' twirling
Once in a blue moon I remember
"There's no place like home"
but lately
I want to run away
home feels like an ink blot.
In my maze
time drips and my words
run and blur
they try to run away
leap off the page
hoping to return
to their
sunny green thoughts
where fragile
stars bloom
and radiance
rains light.
