NaPoWriMo - 5

Cut on the bias,
no pattern defines me:

pas de deux angels
dance on my pinheads;
caravans of camels swim
through my seams.

Loose threads and off-cuts,
remnants and cast-offs
gather and ruffle
my bayou of streams.

Amid fem(me) fa(t/m)ale
psyche-Deli(l)a(h) and
“low spark of high-heeled boys”
I K/cat(e)walk

bin-bag concealed
or fish-bowl exposed,
snipped naked in dreams.

Kate, as Popeye the cartoon character would phrase it, "I am what I am and I is what I is" -- abvout each of us it can be said, "the thing is what it is" -- your work here interests me - perspective runs deep through the core of it -- and meaning, is marvelously left for the reader's interpretive whims --- peacer and love be with you my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Exactement, Georg, exactement! :))

And many thanks, John. I have saved this "prompt" and will pop it up later in the month. xx

This poem sounds in my head and visualize Pas de Quatre Petite Swans from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake like when you have "...pas de deux angels
dance on my pinheads..."

Luv this one, Kreative Kate!
Sorry I haven't been keeping up, under the (tropic) weather but recovering.
A small suggestion - here are ten famous (and favourite) opening lines, no overhead links or underground cables, as is, as printed; why not jumble, blend and mix them, cut and paste, whatever...without additions...just a thought, a bit of fun:

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day
When I have fears that I may cease to be
An old, mad, blind, despised and dying king
I felt a Funeral in my Brain
If the red slayer thinks he slays
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
I met a traveler from an antique land
Had we but world enough and time
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
Call the roller of big cigars

OH Kate!!! I love this-- it defines you, in sort of a "nessish" way, doesn't it. I especially love how rhythmic the first half is-- half full of whimsy, half full of madness, Chuck-full of charm. --Charlie
