Mosaic Musings...interactive poetry reviews _ IPBC Archive _ MM's IBPC Nom & Selection for April Competition

Posted by: AMETHYST Mar 17 09, 03:42

I would like to nominate http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=13074 by Robin Dewalt (Merle) for its skillful use of poetic techniques and ability to show and not tell the story. The poem allows the reader to mull and anazlyze the subject from their own perspective.

Kitchen Contemplations by Robin Cherry-DeWalt

The spaghetti pot talks
while her fingers walk
on windowpanes of steam.
Perhaps one day
she won't just pray
and wake outside her dream.

Take a trip to France
learn the language dance
bonjour and s'il vous plait.
Or Italy
where love is free
and passions never sway.

She warms the bread
when she hears his tread
of boot on wooden stair.
Prepares his drink
in a routine blink
and touches up her hair.

Yes, and you'll have an 'award mini-plaque' in your signature too (this weekend when I do my updates).

Cool!

Hi Robin - Congratulations on your award! You have one of the most original voices of all the poets I have read on poetry forums; so very human, and yet - so keenly observant.
