We’re heading towards the half-way mark both at NaPoWriMo and the AtoZ Challenge. The challenge on Day Fourteen is a fun one: write a poem that takes the form of the opening scene of the movie of your life. Does it open with a car chase? A musical number? A long scene panning across a verdant plain? You’re the director (and also the producer, the actors, the set designer, the cinematographer, and the lowly assistant that buys doughnuts for the crew) – so it’s all up to you!
I didn’t have to think much for this one. Picked up a chapter from my life. Of course, you’ll have to wait for the entire movie to hit the screens. Tentatively titled, The MOVIE
The cameras roll…
On a mean rainy day a pair of feet
run over glassy tracks, stirring
puddles into a vortex
of dance.
***
Their destination, a crumbling theatre
where plays a percussion over the
roof-top, drowning the muffled
notes of a solitary mic.
***
Drums beat by rickety panes, a storm-cloud hangs
by the skylight. I shake my flattened hair
and strain my eager ear,
‘Our next participant is…’
they announce.
***
The title sequence plays
Starring, Yours Truly
