Today's prompts:
WBP: Write a "beginning" and/or "ending" poem.
NPWM: "... write a poem in which the speaker is identified with, or compared to, a character from myth or legend..."
PSH: "Compose a poem using the photographs on your phone or on display in your home –
Write as if scrolling through them, describing each one briefly....
Keep scrolling and start adding pictures that aren’t there ....
Keep mixing real images with imaginary ones. The poem will tell you how it wants to end." Brendan Constantine)
I combined all three prompts today. It's up to you to figure out which of the photos on my list are real and which are not.
The End of Argos’s Google Photo Gallery
The last name
is Panoptes, which means “all-seeing,”
which applied
to my one hundred eyes,
and my camera
as well.
Here is Marvel’s
The Hulk made entirely of Legos
appearing to
push a toddler in a stroller.
Here are zookeepers
tossing fish to harbor seals
for rolling
over, waving their fins, and kissing.
Here, blowing
bubbles with my grandson.
Here are huge
flowers of blown glass,
and here is a
car door growing from a garden.
Here are some
Christmas trees.
Here is a
fishing boat shaped like a shark,
and here is a
shark shaped like a school bus.
Here is sunset
on the Gulf of Mexico.
Here is an opossum
on my son’s head.
Here is a bowl
of Italian wedding soup.
Here is a white
heifer, really a mistress of Zeus,
whom Hera asked
me to guard.
And here is a
shepherd who looks suspiciously
like Hermes, probably
sent by Zeus.
His words are
making me sleepy,
and he is the
last thing my many eyes see.
Here is a selfie
of Hermes with my head.
(I'll be back soon with a summary and highlights of April.)

Ha, that was fun to read! I'm sure it would all be just like that.
