prompt for #day30 for #glopowrimo,
Examine the breadth of poetry you have written and find those crutches. acknowledge them, articulate their significance in your life and writing, and craft a poem using this word bank that captures the universal or meta concepts of your reasoning for writing, giving each a purpose beyond repetition.”
Exploiting all my personal weaknesses.
Big words, foreign words, Fringe science, exotic colours, hysteria the works
Rich tapestries of emotion
Woven into lavish cashmeres
Opulent Afghans
Embroidered affectation
They're too rich
Too ornate
Yet I revel in
The medley of colours
Soft cerulean blues
Remind me of the sky over
Dal lake
Ivory green
Reminiscent of meadows
Of Bengal in afternoon sun
Vermilion red of wide eyed bride
Serpentine gray rivers of pensive meditation
My carpet of dreaming melancholy
Draped on Deadwood floor.
Give me another time
Another distant clime
Spacetime warped reality
Where honeycomb visions
Of mosaic dreams
Lay to rest
ghosts and apparitions.
Give birth to fecund notions.
Lolling about in green hued light
Of emerald glass
Silver sky overhead
Slate greys of deliquescent lake
Reflections of magic memories
In Calypso glades.
And le homme bleu
The ornery ghoul
From Mulholland drive
Creeps under my door tonight
Shall I be captured
Trapped in time's tinsel box
Shall magical trust in courage
My soul unlock?
All these various threads
My magic carpet weaves
Je fais rever
des rêves tels que ceux-ci.
