Edvard Munch's Scream
wide mouth
deafening death
hooded fiend
hairless man
or child?
wicked aura
mental condition
lonely soul
lips of abrasion
greatly wild!
Piercing existence, we still hear his scream; a canvas, a classic.

ReplyDeleteA scream that has traveled worlds and mind... "greatly wild", indeed.
ReplyDeleteApt imagery! Greatly wild sums it up
ReplyDeleteOh yes, perfectly caught.
