Hello!
The prompt for today was to write a poem about a walking archive. A walking archive is when you go for a walk and pick up items or trinkets or treasures as you go. While I am able to leave the house and go for walks during this time of self isolation, I don't go very far and my neighborhood isn't very inspiring for poetry. So instead I wrote about items around my apartment. I was very much inspired by the song Tiny Paper Elephant by the Doubleclicks. (Go check out the song if you like) Enjoy!
There's a ducky tea infuser
in a cup that looks like Chip.
A rainbow Perler feather,
and a pink panda hair clip.
There's a Sith Lord R2-D2
fighting Sailor Jupiter
near a pile of books to read soon
and a shirt painted with une fleur.
A floppsy duck named Gustav
sits atop a strawberry.
And together all this shows you
the sort of person I must be.
Take a tour of my life now.
Take a tour of my home.
And together I will tell you
of the places I do roam.
Thanks for reading!
Attentea Danaxam.
