Some days you’re there, but maybe not. 
Part way there and part way elsewhere.
How does one choose which parts 
to bring along on any given day? 

Somc days you see things
that may or may not be what you see.

Some days the only thing that matters
is that the horse you are riding 
has all four feet and seems to know
where it is headed. 

dVerse Poetics prompt: Exploring the Art of Gerard Sekoto.

For today’s Poetics prompt, Melissa challenges us to “choose one of the paintings featured in [today’s dVerse] post and base your poem on it. Write whatever comes to mind as you explore the colors and images of the painting. Please let us know in your post which painting you’ve chosen and credit the artist.”

I chose the painting featured above, “Policeman on a White Horse in the Fields” by Gerard Sekoto (1959). Thank you, Melissa, for the prompt.
