Free verse written in 2012 about Alexander Calder's mobile called "Ghost." |
Alexander's Ghost Jessica Marie I wrote this free verse poem back in 2012 and posted it to my Blogger account. It received wonderful responses such as "Neat poem and good pictures. :)" that I wanted to include it on Writing.com for the Writing.com community to enjoy. Enjoy a poem about my favorite mobile by Alexander Calder, as found in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. translucent spectre floats freely on the ceiling everyone in awe. Free-floating, suspended in air; The statue, back arched, stares. White tiles coupled with gray wire, "ooh"s and "ahh"s never tire. Below the spectre, awaits hustling-bustling, lines straight or curving in and out. The droning and humming, the shouts-- another day in the city, away from the heat and humidity, stay; this ghost was created for you, for Alexander lived here too. The god father of mobiles, illuminations of grays and teals, reds, whites, blues and yellow-- such a colourful fellow. This ghost will wait for you, with magnificent stories too; grab the pale white tiles; let your imagination stay awhile. |
