National Poetry Writing Month

Day 1

Today, we`d like to challenge you to spend a few minutes looking at a piece of art that interests you from the New York`s Metropolitan Museum of Art.   Select your piece, study it and then write a poem.

a face ween within a crowd

captured in a moment of time

with fine chiseled feathers

young beauty in his prime

with elegant braided hair

he stands tall for all to see

for serving his Pharaoh well

means everything for his city

finest scents and jewellery

family ambitions planned

with a beautifully kept home

many servants at his command

immaculate in every way

he stands tall with poised lips

power, wisdom and honour held

the future at his finger tips
