Poetry Bus Poem - Kaleidoscope

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


You can see all the other bus riders at http://titusthedog.blogspot.com/






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.

  5. I think we might have quite a lot in common (and in the beginning was TOTP...). A lovely mix here.

  7. Hi! Kaleidoscope beautifully describes the multi-faceted feeling of your poem. Bright, full of energy, bold, creative.

  8. Yes, 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.

  9. a childish belief in something more

    I'd go with that sentiment...

  11. Kaleidoscope is a great description, and we've all got to keep believing in something more... haven't we?
