The Possibilities

dreamy blue magic
orb floating in clouds turns an
ordinary street
to a place where anything
is suddenly possible

Georgia O’Keeffe, New York Street with Moon (1925), Carmen Thyssen Collection, Madrid, and Detroit Institute of Arts

Melissa Lemay’s lovely challenge: For today’s prompt, I’d like you to choose one of the paintings in this post and explore the world around you through the murky colors and sharp angles uncharacteristic of O’Keeffe. Perhaps you’ll write poetry that is uncharacteristically you. Show us something we might not have come to expect from your poetic repertoire.
