The Biest

Poem written by the poet and free lance writer Helen Losse (http://helenl.wordpress.com) and based on this artwork:
     
     
      But Not From the Dark Side
     
      The green river is
      covered with slime. Trees
      are growing at an angle on
      the side of the hill, where
      two people on horses climb,
     
      where there may be a path,
      but I can’t see it. The wind whips
      through the aforementioned trees—
      green, blue, a touch of purple
      looks like berries.
     
      The beast is nowhere in the picture.
      I think she might have just given
      birth to wonder rather than danger.
      “Nothing gold can stay,” says Frost.
      Nothing here spells D-A-R-K,
     
      nothing but slime for imagination.
