RWP #36

Written for the Read Write Poem prompt.
Inspired by Rick Mobbs Portrait of Nanda.

NANDA
Watering eyes
Faithfully watching
Peeling garlic
Dreading Vladimir’s return

Falling asleep
Eyes open knife ready
Silver bullet handgun drawn
Dead men don’t bite

  9. Interesting how you interpreted her wide eyes as murderous. I didn't see that. But everyone views painting from their own perspective. Anyway, your poem stands on its own.

  10. Hi Christine, I just thought that Nanda needed some protection from Vladimir, I didn't really think of her as being murderous just scared that he was going to bite her.
