Ink Well

Magpie Photo Prompt 115
image by Manu Pombrol

Inside a vitreous vault of expression
I sit pondering my previous
"masterpieces".

Completely bared to the world 
all that I am.
What have I to hide?

So much more to share 
before the winds of time
evaporate what remains 
of my creative fluids.

Clear, that I may choose any hue 
to paint my scene, 
from docile blues 
to vibrant greens 
to passion-filled reds.

Never shall the lid be laid
as I have hidden it well
lest my freedom be contained once more.

  3. I like the idea of creative fluids evaporating, nicely suggested by the prompt. Thank goodness he's hidden the lid!

  6. So very interesting how you layer humor from the first stanza, ( I got a huge grin from that one!) and end with a serious pronouncement in the last stanza. Much can be read into this piece, and NO there's no pun intended given the photo's content!! Nice!

  7. Yes, keep that lid hidden. Very well done, by the way.
