"Self Portrait" by Francis Bacon - Image Prompt from The Mag 200
Bind it
Tie it up
leather corset
crippling shoes
smile dollop
across a demure
face
braggadocio
posture width
breadth, musculature
spats or denim or both
scowling seriousness
face
sentimentality
shredded into strings of
what was wasn’t couldn’t
coup of the new tale
edited upcycled
face
-- Julie Jordan Scott
That was quite an interesting read always fascinating to see where other poets will go
with a prompt. I'm glad I stopped over for a visit.

This is interesting, I feel like the person in the poem isn't in a good mood, but upset to be confined. Thank you!
