I love the title and the whole description of the treasure box is charming. I also admire your rhyme scheme, which has something of the sestina in your use of recurring words. This must have been a painstaking piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry, I often have trouble with titles. It took a bit of time to write, but I wanted to capture the magic of the contents of the box.
DeleteThis is a difficult form to execute.. love the soft tone and the time locked at 10.10...gives it such a great feel.
ReplyDeleteThank you, there is actually a very small clock which read 10:10
DeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous..!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sanaa
Deletewowzers for both content and form...the closing stanza is most beautiful..
ReplyDeleteSumana, thank you for your thoughts, I just wanted to share the beauty of the treasures.
Deletethis must be a difficult form to do!
ReplyDeletei like the image of the clock, the hour hand locked in time. 10:10 does look like a smile. :)
Ha - I hadn't thought of it as a smile. Thanks i like that image you have provided.
Delete"10:10 tiny clock, the hour locked in time"
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this line!
There is a small time piece hidden in the box, time stood still at 10:10...
DeleteWonderful tribute to that box your mother gave you. You described the gathering and the thoughts so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex, I was very surprised when she brought this gift over for me and I knew I had to give honor to my ancestor.
DeleteVery cool capture of your treasure box tru...you pieced this together very nicely
ReplyDeleteThank Brian,the words seemed to come together sort of magical, but I did have a form in mind as I wanted to give it an olde world feel. I am not sure I did that :)
DeleteGreat capture of the box indeed. Oh where the contents must have been and what they've seen.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, If that box could only talk. I am sure it would have some wonderful stories to tell.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous find, this treasure Box! I love the repeated phrases throughout the poem. Is this an actual form, or did you repeat them where they sounded right to you? It makes for a very lovely read.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, Yes this is an actual form the Pantoum. It is a bit tricky I have tried it before and it just sort of spoke to me so I ran with it. The box is delightful, I am trying to track down how old the box might be. I think it is an old cigar box.
DeleteWhat a lovely, mysterious and really evocative thing to come upon in an old trunk. Truly a treasure chest - and I love where it took you, poetically.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful gift as I carefully looked through the box at all the intricate items. The timepiece stuck at 10:10 really was amazing.
DeleteOh, this is so sweet Trudessa. The repeated yearning of a poet's heart, the references to Victor Hugo. Brought me back many years when, as an undergraduate, I majored in French and actually read him in French. The years have erased so much of that language from my memory. I so much enjoyed reading this poem. Hope you enjoy the treasure box.
ReplyDeleteThere has been some synchronicity with Victor Hugo in my life. He has shown up in a few places.
DeleteI like how this treasure box now when found can connect the past of family with the present owner... ~ wise write.
ReplyDeleteThat is true, as I ponder who the box belonged to in the family and I think she was sentimental and a bit romantic.
DeleteWhat a delightful find!
ReplyDeleteIt brought a smile to my face Rosemary.
DeleteThe repetitions are just perfect. Form poetry always laughs at me and my free verse ways, so this poem is even more impressive to be because of that. I also love the descriptions.
ReplyDeleteHi Magaly, free verse is easier and I like the freedom, but for this one I just wanted it to have an old world flavor.
DeleteThese are indeed mysteries full of glee,
ReplyDeletethey were waiting for you trying to break free.
that may well be
Deletefrom sea to sea
One can well imagine what grand stories they may tell. Victor Hugo is a treasure trove to keep.
