Prop Requiem and Prop Rebirth: A Repurposing #Poem #aedm2010

 

Purple covers daisies
White fights back
"Oh, to be seen..." the
daisies whisper, back of the hand
to their petal foreheads they
recline, fading...

I sigh.
I may find I love it.

 

 


Friendship's beginnings at
Goodwill, Northwest.
Hands clasped and voice
rejoiced, "PERFECT!" crafted,
I imagine, at last generation's
wood shop. A couple coats
of 70's era colors and
I may find I love it

daisies and used nightly
onstage to bring a more
than slightly crazed loving
much psychologist to life
now, the 70's yellow and
orange turns pale purple
I may find I love it

Still wet, I write into
the what was knowing
one student's A- or B+
project will once
more be well loved, so
its hoped, help ideas
spring to life between
blue lines
I may find I love it

Splash itself into
word docs and powerpoints
Blogs or scripts and
books or poemsa and perhaps
just perhaps
come back to life
on stage
once
again

Really quaint, I loved it! The layout works well for it.

I like it, although I got a little lost in there... But I loved the first stanza so much - those poor daisies - and then the repetition throughout of "I may find I love it."

Liked the first stanza in particular... I do enjoy my Julie Jordan Scott Visits. So you write rondelet too? I write in many forms, rondelet about to try one. Have done its brothers and sisters rondeau, rondel and triolet though. And LOVE the villanelle, my favourite of the old forms. Got a sonnet, a ballad and free verse this week

Sometimes a bit of restoration is necessary to bring the old back to life and renew its energy. Especially for old props. Nice job of restoration and an excellent poem as well.
