The NaPoWriMo prompt for Day 6 asked us to be a voice from inside Bosch’s “Garden of Earthly Delights”. Although I did a voice from outside the painting last year–On Seeing Bosch’s “Garden of Earthly Delights” –for NaPoWriMo, I couldn’t write anything from inside of it that didn’t seem too depressing for me today. So I chose another piece of Bosch’s for my Ekphrastic review.
I found the drawing above titled in 2 ways–The Trees Have Ears and the Field Has Eyes and The Hearing Forest and the Seeing Field. Both are true.
the eyes talk–
have you heard them?
they breathe music
of earth stars–
light opening everything
as if you could fly
And now I’ll visit Joni’s garden

There’s a subtle creepiness to this one, like the Bosch paintings, never quite sure what’s behind them.

It kind of makes you wonder if he was on something. 😏

I think, as Jane noted in her poem, he looked through the outer layers and saw what was inside.

The drawing is creepy, like Jane says, but also cool–like The Garden. Both compelling. You got a hopeful poem though of earth stars and light.

I did. The natural world can be harsh, but it is not cruel.
