I’m going to cut to the chase- I love magnet poetry. It doesn’t matter if those little magnetic words are displayed at a store, on a friend’s refrigerator, in the corner of a small bookshop downtown- I will fiddle with the magnets for hours at a time, making tiny poems out of every syllable available. Since I have found out about my love for them, I have bought a few magnet poetry kits and find making poems out of them a super fun hobby. Below are a few poems from my Magnet Poetry series, all made from (you guessed it) my magnet poetry sets.
a poem for a perfect baby
with small fingernails
& bright spirit
gleam here below the silent sky
in spring we will mourn him
under the cross
but on this night
he is beautiful
June
she brings sweet summer
at night
as if the shadow of my
silent song is too bright
for morning
Untitled
Listen to the universe:
Everything will grow and wither.
Let flowers sprout,
Let yellow morning shine.
Breathe through life my child,
Bloom your future.
unturned pages
as I dig deep
let my library learn
all of you
star
I use my wish
to kill all my secrets
so the cold romantic in me
will love from her
big heart
& is able to sing the blue moon
night
leaving
do we find wisdom in travel?
our old souls wandering the world
cracking open the novel of life
to discover truth in language
to vividly dream and be inspired
by beautiful people
as if every day is like another story
or did you just make an
escape
