Every Sunday I await Tess Kincaid's unique writing challenges to be inspired by her visual prompts. Never letting us down, today she present Venus de Milo with Drawers by Salvador Dali. Join the challenge and read other pieces that were borne from this very different visual prompt today. No guidelines in regards to style, keep it clean and link up at Magpie Tales.

Imagine Venus with drawers
She already had a cloth
What she needed was arms
But at her loss we scoff
Dali gave her knobs instead
And places to hide your stuff
Although this adds depth and use
Having arms would be a plus
I admire Dali's talent
But fear inside his head
I would add a one drawer wonder
By installing a jack-in-the-box instead

Clever and humorous. What was Dali thinking?

Yeah, without arms, how the heck do you open drawers? A clever rhyme.
And your header is a blog opener, too.

Incredibly clever response to Dali's absurdity!
February 24, 2013 at 1:32 PM

I`ve always thought that Dali was OTT so really appreciate this tremendously funny poem.
February 24, 2013 at 2:25 PM
You certainly rose to the challenge!
February 24, 2013 at 2:44 PM
POP goes the weasel ... certainly fits the Dali image!!! :-)

So I have this vivid imagery of the jack-in-the box Venus de Dali - it is capable of becoming nightmarish!

Hahahahaha!!!!!
Have a great week, Gail! ♥

Great verse. I really like it. Yes, she only needed arms and he gave her all these knobs instead! Last stanza is great.

Heehee - love the jack-in-the-box idea!
February 25, 2013 at 8:11 AM
Bravo- I don't even believe Dali would have thought of that Jack-in-the-box - but imagine how cool it would be!
February 25, 2013 at 12:05 PM
Cleverly done and the Jack-in-the-box...would be fun!
February 25, 2013 at 2:34 PM
He has made Venus look silly, so a Jack in the box would have been perfect.
February 26, 2013 at 2:51 PM
Yup! I'm with Jack and his box, too!
February 26, 2013 at 5:23 PM
she could definitely use arms... & i agree with you about Dali
February 26, 2013 at 10:07 PM
Oh the wonders the lurked inside Dali's head...
February 27, 2013 at 12:36 PM
