NaPoWriMo Day 6

Today's quote: "Poetry is not always words." ~Terri Guillemets

Today's prompt: Respond to an image or a piece of art.

Today poem:

Pocahontas

She runs,
Endlessly, it seems,
Wild but no longer free.
They have tamed the deer
Which sniffs at her heels,
But not yet tamed her.

She fears,
It may only be a matter of time.
The wide blue water is theirs,
Their machines and strange clothing.
The wind stroking her hair
Is cold, sharp,
And full of change.


(Using 'Pocahontas' by Annie Leibovitz as my prompt)
