Poetry Bus Driver this week is the fabulous Titus who has given us great inspiration based on the theme of one's essence.

Kaleidoscope
Hand shapes creating shadows on the wall,
a child belief in something more,
books and stories,
a magic carpet ride,
my first sunrise,
the touch of the Atlantic on my toes,
Christmas lights,
Top of the pops,
Being free,
fire in my soul,
falling in love, madly,
tears for broken things,
mixed up love,
slices of time past,
silly dreams of a little girl,
fireflames,
snowstorms from the Milky Way,
the kaleidoscope of all the bits inside of me,
the ones that make me real,
the essence of me.
the ones that make me real,
the essence of me.
Oh, I really like that "kaleidoscope" line - now I feel I know you better, Socks.

Gosh you are quick kat. Hope the move went well!
ReplyDeletethis is great, lots of lovely images, think you combined the two prompts beautifully
ReplyDeleteThanks Niamh.
ReplyDeleteSo many parts coming together, the mosaic
ReplyDeletecertainly glows! thanks.
I think we might have quite a lot in common (and in the beginning was TOTP...). A lovely mix here.

Thanks Izzy, and thanks Rachel, who can ever forget TOTP!
ReplyDeleteHi! Kaleidoscope beautifully describes the multi-faceted feeling of your poem. Bright, full of energy, bold, creative.
ReplyDeleteYes, that really is a kaleidoscope, from the cosmic to the mundane. As Niamh says, it does bring the two prompts together beautifully. I particularly love that arresting first image of the hand shape shadows on the wall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen & Titus.
ReplyDeletea childish belief in something more
ReplyDeleteI'd go with that sentiment...
Thanks Cad! Guess we all have to hold on to our childish beliefs!
ReplyDeleteKaleidoscope is a great description, and we've all got to keep believing in something more... haven't we?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely TFE!
