You, magician pulled
a carrot
from your chapeau-clack
and boastfully declared
that the flawless rabbit that
you wished to see is not
a carrot
but a lustful apparition
of a parsnip
just pretending he’s
something other than
my lonesome pipe.
The treachery of images (This is not a pipe) by Rene Magritte
A bit of surrealistic poetry written in haste for Linda’s prompt at dVerse.

Clever, as usual!
Now that really was surreal 🙂
Your poem is most definitely surreal, Björn! I love the idea of a ‘ lustful apparition of a parsnip’.
For me, this is the best exanple of surrealism 🙂
A perfect image for an exkphrastic romp. (K)

Fantastic! ‘A lustful apparition of a carrot’ will stick in my memory for a long time!
I like the title putting magician, rabbit and carrot in an unusual situation.
What a surreal parsnip!
This will have me puzzling for quire some time. 🙂
