Ode to a brown paper bag



Today's picstory is inspired by a poem of Gillena Cox.
On monday I read it in her meme "Monday WRites
and I was immediately fascinated by this idea and the poetic power of her words.
My "inner cinema" showed me a whole story behind it, and so I made this picstory.


ODE TO A BROWN PAPER BAG

there it lies, folded at the creases,
crisp, neat lines lay on the kitchen counter;
shall i unfold it, expand it, open it
to sounds of morning; filling it with
a din of twitterings,
i mean to cram all those birdsongs into
a brown paperbag; so vast this ideal
of a dawning sky, where does one begin
to draw rainbows? where does the dark
of night hang his obsidian coat?
it peters out, the earliest din;
so the opened brown paper bag
now stands on the kitchen counter
seemingly empty

  2. Interesting collages, as I can't read the words unfortunately I don't know how they are pieced together for you; but it looks great.

    1. The words in my collages are mostly random scrapbook words, not necessary to understand them.
      My picstories are made to stimulate the own imagination of the viewer. For the "mind cinema"...

  9. The one thing I LOVE about poetry is the depth of creativity and emotion that it brings with it. Your photos tell deep story, an emotional retelling of all that could be in the void of the paper bag.
    Blessings,
