Descent



Slow, surreal, spirals
They slide in a long descent
Toward the killing fields

Toward the killing fields
In a long descent they slide
Spirals: slow, surreal





Our three words were: descent, kill, surreal

    Wonderful graphic simplicity - you don't need a lot of words to get your meaning across. I liked it!

    It's really fascinating how the two poems intersect, actually coming from different angles. Well, done!

    Fabulous links between photos and words, and a perfect example of the difference in meanings when one's words are "twisted." Great writing!

    "toward killing fields"
    Beautiful. I like how the two stanzas relate.

    Lovely read and such apt comparisons too!!
    Could nearly have been a palindrome :)

    the pictures support the words and vice-versa.
