- Illustration by Poet Rummager
- Inspired by Joan Miro’s Tapestry
Hypnotic color.
Illusions behind your eyes.
Imagine a world.
Miro, take my hand.
Paint me where purple horses
leap through dimensions.
In glittery skies,
ride to telescopic lands –
Leave a trail of stars.

Your whimsical illustration reminds me of the colors we see when our eyes are closed (phosphenes). Thanks for traveling the landscape of creativity!

That’s right! Miro’s, de Chirico’s, and Dali’s
modern works were known as hallucination phenomena
which led to the term “phosphenes.”

It was excellent traveling the creative landscape with your words!
Thanks so much for Haiku-ing with Me. 😀

Really? That’s strange. I’m not familiar with Miros work, and had no idea that particular artistic expression was literally inspired by phosphenes. Thanks for sharing the link!
