Promptitis or promptosis?
An inflammation or a chronic condition?
I call The Muse without a Prompt
and She waits for Pavlov’s bell to ring.
Nature stands mute and cats are just cats.

      Sadje, some of the poems for POPO2023 coming up were ekphrastic, but this one was written before I started looking at postcards. I think it fits pretty well and I see you think so also :)
