Day 11: “New Seedling”

Here was the prompt for Day 11, read more at April PAD Challenge: Day 11:

For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem about an object (or objects). Though you don't have to confine yourself to straight up description, I do want you to focus on object and/or make it a central piece of your poem. One of the more famous poems of contemporary literature does this wonderfully in William Carlos Williams' "The Red Wheelbarrow."

“New Seedling”

A fallen racehorse

Mauve or brown

Head

Tucked in between limbs

Still life metamorphosing

From

A sight-deterred seed, pale

Unmoving in the damp silky

Soil

To a green-eyed canopy unfolded

Voodooed into living the

Life of an

Unraveled

Seedling.
