Who Am I?
|
when you come to Portland
you might wake up one morning
find a dragon curled between your
in Portland anything is possible
I’ve met people named
Sirius, Sweet Home
but find your own name
you can be reinvented in Portland
I still use the name I came with
will you whisper me a new one? |
you might take a new name
find an angel perched on your shoulder
but you’ll be alright
you are limitless
Dandelion, Static
these are names you could take
take one that defines you
you are limitless
I want to find a new name
am I truly limitless? |
ReadWritePoem Prompt: Day 14
Write a cleave poem. What’s a cleave poem, you ask? It’s three poems in one.
The whole idea works something like this (quoting the creator of the form, Dr. Phuoc-Tan Diep): “In its most basic form it is three poems: two parallel ‘vertical’ poems (left and right)…[with] a third ‘horizontal’ poem being the fusion of the vertical poems read together.” He goes on to say, “One of my aims was to examine how something can be more than the sum of its parts and can be 3 in 1: synergy, fusion, co-operation, dialectics, marriage, interdependence, teamwork and The Trinity.”
