A simply kind of task

Walking the 8

Putting one foot

     In front

            Of the other

Sounds simple enough

            To me

Simply gazing upon

The world beyond

Through a window pane

     Yeah

            A window pane

                     Coated in mud

Glimpses of Infinity

Through mud covered

Lenses can be misleading

         Putting

   one

          Simple

    Foot

          In front

     Of the

             Other

Walking the 8

While a deranged Painter

Slashes through you

With manic need

Is no simply kind

Of task for me

Every week, for the last one hundred and twenty seven, The mag has an image for writers to work from, something to create poetry or pros from. This week Tess selected Figure Eight, 1952, by Franz Kline, for us to create from. Please visit The Mag to see what others have done with the prompt.
