Based of of Art: "Band YMCK"

Technicolor dreamboat
floating on a bay
neon splotches
furry pinks.
The water breaks away
pixilating
washing over
the sugar-coated sails.
Piece by piece
fit together
the key & the lock.
Eroding all
that is not
blue.
Not bleak.
Not blank.
Not the same.
And the Technicolor
dreamboat
is taken down.
Paper people cling to
the floating debris
of jointed yellow spikes.
Under the digital waves
sound carries
a robotronic
echo.
Until it is cut off
by the silence.
Everything
blue.
Suffocated.

The poem was inspired by a piece of artwork created by Lilly Merillian Miller, a artist at my school also in the eighth grade.
