Bounty: Prose Poetry

PROSE POETRY + PHOTOGRAPHY: 

This collection of prose poetry will surprise, astound, delight, tell a story, and provide you with an effortless read. Along with images, the poetry is created so that you can enjoy little blocks of prose that act like word pictures. The objects / subjects in the poetry are mostly given a narrative voice rather than written from a personal perspective. Moreover, this collection is subversive, adroit, deceptively plain-speaking, unpremeditated, and packaged in prose that stands alone in a crazy logic of its own.

Bee Season

 

The selection is strong if the scent is not awkward, and how soon an ordinary bee chooses colour over colour in the noir crop of nasturtiums, a considerable collection of nasturtiums in gold and yellow bright orange and something in between. The bee circulates the bed for it is spring and the open flowers are laden with pollen there is nothing quite flattening about the open petals they are displayed outwards not round perhaps slightly ovoid and monstrously vibrant against the green saucer leaves, an occasional resource to hide behind either from shadow or menace and since the bee is busy his presence is a splendid sequestering of his slick slick sticky in order to be clever this little insect cannot collect the same thing if the petals are closed and partly to dally is a measure of empty and this particular bee has a custom a plan a measure of length to stay and only to break away with the excess he needs and this shows filling.
