Notes About The Poem

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay

 

Redamancy

Neon lights of love
glister from the strobic sphere.
Is my desire abhorrent?

My head, spinning with
each phantasmagoric twirl, 
yearns for your adoration.

Congratulations on your 3rd place, Linda. You have successfully brought the sedoka into the the 21st century with this innovative poem, abounding in metaphor, e.g. the extended metaphor of "strobic sphere", "spinning" and "twirl". You have successfully executed the contrast in the two stanzas -- the turn. Your concluding lines are the crux of the matter in each. Readers can relate -- the ultimate goal of any poem.

Perhaps, but why just two or three. Would it affect all of them. I can give it a try - won't hurt anything. :) Thanks!!

Beautiful poem Laf, BOL in the contest my friend.

Ha - you both are correct - I enjoy both, but poetry is more portable and easier to "clean-up" afterward. ;);)

ha ha, Wen try painting the canvas a sky blue, dry, then add figures & things it helps!

It came and it went dear Laf.. slapping paint on a blank canvas isn't nearly as rewarding as slapping words on a screen !
