The Shape of Emotions

Writer's picture: Golden InkGolden Ink

Dear Readers,


Happy New Year’s Eve everybody!


This Week's Progress:

I haven’t published a blog post in a very long time because I was pretty caught up in school and after schools. This week I worked on an abecedarian poem that is almost done. An abecedarian poem is a poem where the first letter of each line follows the letters in the alphabet. For example, the first line starts with the letter a, the second with the letter b, etc. I tried to include a deeper meaning to the poem since that is something I am also currently working on. Please feel free to give me feedback and suggestions (in the comments)! Here is the poem:


Embroidery


A piece of thread doesn’t go on forever,

Beware of misinterpreting reality, be

Careful of the complexity in forever

Don't think there is a forever.

Existence is perishable, there is no

Fridge for emotions, no protector to our

Glory nor failure.

Humanity is but a word—she said, an

Inaccurate representation of what humans are made of,

Just imagine a human with real emotions, a

Keep-safe you keep

Lonely,

Mopping in the box of your soul—

No others to relate with, at some point, the box

Opens

Perishables come out, but everyone

Questions its integrity.

Retrieving them one by one,

Sucking out their life force,

Tying them like shackles to a slave.

Undoing their knots that

Vowed to keep them safe.

What happens is a secret, but you hear the

Xylophones making a song, and the perishables

Yammering at the

Zoo of threads, that failed to make one, proper, stitch.


Hope you enjoy the poem!
