Hooking It

Hanging on a hook

Scripted with ink

Colors zigzaging the shades of pink

Text all jumbled around

Unable to make out a sound

Clumps of words that slip off your tongue

Making your hands and lips feel numb

Pink watch laying upside down

Crafted with pens bought in town

Messy scribbles from the right hand 

Each line expanding in demand like sand

The watch on the right

The scumble in the middle 

The clump of words dripping down in a drizzle

I can’t make it out 

Time seems stuck

In a scrambled mess of words

Then a bird flies into this mess

This poem describes a complex and abstract painting that is mean to evoke confusion. Things like words, to watches and birds are involved to create a masterpiece to get you to think with the painting of different shades of pink.
