I am so proud to announce that I was today's featured participant on the NaPoWriMo website. Even the title of the poem now feels appropriate somehow :)
Today I’m a Masterpiece
I fall apart at the end of each day,
It’s no big deal.
I reinvent myself the next morning.
I piece myself together from the scraps
Of whichever dream I can still hold on to.
It’s no big deal.
The lungs still breathe, the heart beats, the brain thinks.
Though, whose thoughts those are today
I will need to find out.
So I drink a lot of coffee.
So I write myself down to see what happens.
I am work in progress, a moving picture,
a palace reimagined.
I am an active verb and I take an object.
Today I am
an enjambment,
an incomplete sentence,
growing as I move about.
I am proud of the way I walk today, my feet
do carry me well.
Look, now I am already
a page of text,
a question unanswered, a snake
winding beautifully.
I eat my tail and
never end.

ReplyDeleteI love this; it's relatable and realistic. I especially love the lines:
ReplyDelete'I piece myself together from the scraps
Of whichever dream I can still hold on to'
and
'I am an active verb and I take an object.
Today I am
an enjambment,
an incomplete sentence'.
Thank you so much. I am glad it is relatable. I am actually going through some hard times, so this prompt was a challenge.
DeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteSimply fantastic. I resonate with all of this. I love the ending in particular:
ReplyDelete"Look, now I am already
a page of text,
a question unanswered, a snake
winding beautifully.
I eat my tail and
never end."
Thank you. I just kept adding more stuff as I went along.
DeleteHurrah, today you are a page of featured text! :) Glad to see this. To many more pages. And I haven't heard of enjambment since school.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend. I love "a page of featured text":)). And it does feel good, I am not going to lie.
DeleteI don't know how enjambment found itself here. Some things just added themselves in.
Congratulations on being featured! I love the title of your poem. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. The title is cheeky, I admit.
