Hail The Garbage Can Queen
Poppy's Prompts #3 March
A half-finished vanilla yogurt, now sprouting verdant green
Tumbles in the wind, to stump and bump against
A rusting regal compass, imperially garbed, in flowing spiderweb silk
Drops of green goopy mould – emeralds in its train

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.

Vivid poem with matching picture… well done.
