On the fridge,
like a bridge
of magnetic
attempts,
words
links
questions
like ants
form a line,
diligently.
Thoughts?
Messages?
Who is the recipient
of my kitchen poetry,
removable
ephemeral
disposable
and useless?
Between the dishes
and the coffee machine,
the questions
a towel
and a bunch of words
thrown to myself,
carefully,
but watch out,
life's a bulldozer
a mess
a sticky kitchen floor,
even
a tired old lamp.
New inspiration,
maybe just before dinner,
the words
one by one
detached
and,
late at night,
recombined
into a brand new meaning
of domestic wisdom.
There,
ready for breakfast,
a wish
a mantra
my wit
my solitude
atomized
magnetized
on the fridge,
for my eyes only.

Who would have thought of a poem about refrigerator magnets? Obviously someone with a "magnetic" personality such as you!! Nice one.
I now look at what is hung by magnets to my frig. Not inspired words as you have here, but Pizza Hut and Pizza Inn, The plumber etc. I think you have changed my thinking for the better again. Excellent poem. Liz

I am visualizing your poem in little magnetic squares...
clever.
Granddaughters drawing, blue monarch butterfly she drew with love, photos of deceased hubby, refrigerator magnets from shore, whatever they are not clutter to me but memories meant to be.
I love frig-poems! And this is great, Axilea. "The questions, the towels, and a bunch of words thrown to myself"-- I love those lines. A very Magnetic poem! --Charlie
You ask: 'Who is the recipient of my kitchen poetry?' I'll g l a d l y accept - this is absolutely beautiful. You've penned your thoughts and they're proudly displayed on the door of my heart - well done, your best yet!

Axilea, my fridge is the same, as is the top of my desk. Inspiration often comes when we least expect it...and those phrases and strings of words are what put everything into motion.
Action-packed adventure that will keep you turning the pages.
