Love this poem. I like to imagine you playing with the words, words that you chose beforehand and then arranged and rearranged and could go back to. The fridge metaphors work well. Good job.From Maz at gramswisewords.blogspot.com
Thank you, Maz. Your imagination is accurate. When writing magnetic poetry I typically graze the words, picking those that speak to me in the moment, rather than having any particular image or idea in my head. Then it becomes a puzzle. This one started differently. Due to the prompt, I wanted to address the refrigerator, a word I don't recall having used before.
I like using restraints/limitations when I write. The fridge magnets limit my vocabulary. I like how this makes me focus on their look, sound and individual meaning, forcing me to set aside the usual abstractions and complex ideas -- which can be useful, but can also hobble creativity.
I love your post! This is such a clever use of the prompt. And now I really want to go get one of those kits. Congrats on being the featured artist for day 16!
