The Daily Poem: Day 4 - Terror Approaches
Terror Approaches:
The Scream, 1893 by Edvard Munch

He stands on the bridge,
his hands holding his face,
eyes wide--
terrified by what--
he screams.

Behind him
two people walk:
either toward or away
from him.

Water flows under the bridge,
and the are distant
boats sailing.

The red-orange sky
indicates its either sunset or dawn:
it doesn't matter which
because his eyes and fear are focused
on the terror that is
approaching him.

Maybe he is looking
into the Twentieth Century
and the destruction
of two World Wars.
