Porcelain Child

You know those word magnets you put on your fridge and can make all sorts of funny sayings? I like to use ours, at home, to write poetry. I like the challenge of only having select words to create something beautiful.

Well I found this website, Poet Magnetic Poetry Kit, which is a web version of the fridge magnets.

I've been addicted all morning!! Here's what I came up with:

Porcelain Child

My ghostly porcelain child

Born of bleeding broken glass

Remember the poison of this flower

Surround by blushing champagne

Marble concrete lingers after a fools desire decays

Man may devour the young

Darkly ferocious to lie to its haunting

Yet morning will wake that throbbing fever

Listen for it's soft warm words

As they overcome the wild rhythmed growl

This poem is about how our society has an unrealistic idea of perfection and teaches it to our children. Perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be and eventually you will grow sick of the hold it has on you and you will want to get out from it's evil trap.

Some of the crazy things you can come up with only having a few words to choose from! It forces you to be more creative and use your imagination.

Give it a try! What can you make with these words?
