Stuff It Stuff It . . .

Her suppressed feelings:
cacophony of colors
ready to explode.

Written for OLN (Open Link Night) at dVerse, the virtual pub for poets around the globe. Today, I’m hosting and folks can post any poem of their choosing…no required length, format, theme, etc. OR they can write a poem motivated by the painting above: “Mme Kupka among Verticals” painted by Frantisek Kupka (in public domain). It’s displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

NOTE: come join us Saturday, January 17th for our LIVE session (audio and video) from 10 to 11 AM EST. Go to https://dversepoets.com for the link to join us live.
Come read a poem of your choosing or come to just sit in and enjoy. We usually have folks from across the globe…all in English. We’re a very friendly bunch!

    Besides the succinct interpretation of the painting, you also just described so perfectly the way I feel right now.

    Thanks for that, Lillian.

    I love the title, Lill, something I say from time to time, and yes, I feel too that she is ready to explode. I also like the alliterative ‘cacophony of colors’.
