How I Would Paint: History

Yesterday in my class about the Israel-Palestine conflict, we did an exercise where we had the prompt: How I would paint (blank), filling in the blank with a quality or aspect of the conflict. Then we would write a poem from the completed prompt. So here's one I wrote for how I would paint history...

A flowing,

never-ending,

never-beginning,

progressing

current of thought.

An unyielding,

often misinterpreted,

force of nature

that leads straight to

the Current,

the Now.
