"Unworn" by Dan Beachy-Quick
I picked this poem because of the way this artist wrote it. I usually prefer rhyme in written poetry, but this one just caught the eye of me. This poem rhymed in a way, because it repeated the same line twice. My favorite part of the poem is when he said: "Open the water glass with a shattering disregard... My nervous finger makes me pick up the shard..."

I also enjoyed the repetition in this poem. It's one of those poems that demonstrates how poetry really lets you experiment with form. It doesn't have rhyme, but it has a hypnotic rhythm. And it feels like "stream-of-consciousness," as if this were three minutes of the poets' wandering thoughts, unedited. I don't know what it means, but it's cool.
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately do not have the poem in front of me but love the lines you posted. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI liked that poem as well. It is a poem that shows that not every other line needs to rhythm, with I enjoy reading. The lines that you enjoyed we really good, it gave you an idea of the situation.
