Confetti #poetry #dVerse

Poetry of ordinary life is what I live for
I said, you said,
‘Me too, Babe, me too’
I said, ‘Really, when you look around
it’s everywhere:
caught in the branch of a tree, just
shooting the breeze
drifting the air.’

‘It’s in you,’ you said
I said, ‘it’s in you, too:
that’s where we meet
at the boundaries 
exploring ordinary things
rendering them
extraordinary.’

Confetti cut-out words
collaged into miniature worlds
vast distances to be explored
whose inner space is
limitless.

Tonight, Sarah hosts Poetics, where she invites us to be inspired by the names of paint colours, and use this as the basis for a poem. I chose the name ‘Confetti…’

  1. Your last stanza is a poet’s life, defined. To share that connection and understanding with another is sublime. 💞 Wonderful work, Ingrid!

  2. “that’s where we meet
    at the boundaries ”

    Without crossfire. Oh world let there be peace

    Much💜love

    1. I was fascinated by a video I saw once which showed how on a universal scale, the distance within us is greater than the distance from us to the furthest star!

  3. exploring ordinary things
    rendering them extraordinary.’

    Love this idea Sarah of making oneself creative!

  4. I like this poetry of the every day and movement to the extraordinary. I especially love the last stanza.

    (I use to love a show called Ally McBeal, and Vonda Sheppard sang on it.)

  5. “Confetti cut-out words
    collaged into miniature worlds
    vast distances to be explored
    whose inner space is
    limitless.”

    If that is not the definition of a writer I do not know what is. Making the ordinary, extraordinary – yes. This is lovely Merrill.

  6. Sio true. Our inner worlds are limitless, and we can explore to our heart’s content!
