PLUS!
For the optional extra prompt of this months FF55, I invite you to visit Dismaland, the anti-themepark brainchild of the artist known as Banksy, and add your poetic voice to his creative vision.
The event has all the hallmark details of a traditional Banksy event from its initial shroud of secrecy to artistic themes of apocalypse, anti-consumerism, and pointed social critiques on celebrity culture, immigration, and law enforcement. However, there’s one major deviation: the bulk of the artwork packed into three main interior galleries was created by dozens of other artists. (Source Christopher Jobson.

I'm back... with rocks. But I'm hoping to leave them behind soon.

Hey everyone,
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a nice weekend :D sharing my poem "Anticipation" hope you guys like it :D
Thank for you Kerry for this wonderful opportunity :D
Lots of love,
Sanaa
No plus this time, I'm afraid, for mine, but that was a fascinating look at Dismaland, Kerry. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSorry - I think I got a little silly.
ReplyDeleteI jumped in!
ReplyDeleteI didn't employ the "plus" which I realize is optional...probably the opposite...with a touch of melancholy. Thank you, for the challenge, Kerry.
ReplyDeleteOh dear... I noticed that no one understood the poem yet.. so I added a process note at the bottom!

Hey Kerry--Hi. This is a very nice tradition--though of course I wish it were the G man keeping it up--k.
ReplyDeleteHello everybody. I'm home from holiday, and found 55 words. :) No Dismaland, though; merely a touch of dismal.
ReplyDeleteI actually wrote a 55 for Hedge's prompt, but not to Dismaland, and it seems indulgent to post it again here. However, I look forward to reading the rest. ~
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to post a 55 for you. Yes, always remembering the G-Man.
ReplyDeleteI just added my bit; plus(less), since I had a conversation dancing around my head wanting to be shaped into something...
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Dismaland was right down my alley.. hope this one meets the bar..
ReplyDeleteI did a quick 55 but couldn't quite manage the prompt, but I'm anxious to read everyone's resopnses; this is a great topic.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back later to read and comment. My daughter moved from our house to an apartment of her own yesterday, and were still in the process. Happy Sunday everyone!
I'm in and I'll be back with my take! Love this one Toads. Missed ya!
ReplyDeleteOk back and linked. That was fun I like the 55 word write. I have a new blog on Wordpress this time I posted there. I'll be back to read tomorrow! Night!
