THE POETIC EXPERIMENT
The thought randomly came to my
while watching a movie (Jim Carrey's 'Yes Man' in this case) though it had nothing
to do with the movie, its plot or other elements.
My thoughts spoke to me that I randomly
write down some words spoken by the characters and try to weave a poem around
them. I loved the thought and randomly picked up these words during the 30
minutes I watched the movie.
The words were: covenant, molehill,
weird, deserve, dicey, beautiful, promise, perfect, amazing, stroll
Another 30 minutes of my late
night hours (or early morning hours for most of the folks) came up with these
lines. While trying to write a poem around these words, I treated the words as
neutral, independent entities free from the context of the movie. After
finishing with these words, I felt good and decided I would make this 'poetic
experiment' a regular practice.
This is the output of my first randomly
thought 'poetic experiment':
THE ONLY PERFECTION WAS..THE MASK..
The covenant
done,
They looked
through each other,
With a weird
perception,
They thought
they deserved..
In their
beautiful world,
The premises
remained dicey
It was amazing
the way,
The duplicitous
promises stayed..
The only
perfection was..the mask,
To betray the
promises
Yes, the stroll
up the molehill,
Had the
conscience killed yesterday..
