Your Silence

A Pantoum Inspired By Words, Events And A Bouke de Vries Image

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published about a year ago โ€ข 1 min read
Bouke de Vries - Porcelain postcard, 2011, Porcelain and mixed media 140x80mm.

Introduction

I used the postcard because although the nature of the medium is silent it can be used to communicate information and love.

The full title of the image is:

Porcelain postcard, 2011, Porcelain and mixed media 140x80mm.

This is the sixth poem I have written inspired by the images of Bouke de Vries.

The music is "Send Me A Postcard" by Shocking Blue
