Museum Poem by Indira Renganathan

Museum

Rating: 5.0


You're winged and tailed
And made to swim along a dead sea
To be excavated out of an old history
Imaged of a hero in an aesthetic
Made an artefactual relic
And worded in an elderly manuscript
To giggle with somber odour
To be a skeleton at the feast

wonderful! ! ! dear, friend. if time permits. please, read and comment on my new five poems. thank you very much. I try to bind each poem with similar last stanza (same words) , which are likes Leitmotif of Richard Wagner’s Operas and Franz Liszt’s Symphonic Poems in Classical Music on Poetry. I love to call these five poems as Union Poetry. Aurora of Arcadia (page 5) Benign Benediction (page 6) Blessed Blizzard (page 6) Elysium’s Elves (page 8) Peerless Poetess (page 14)

I like this Indira. It is very well written and has a good flow to it. It has enough obscurism in the narrative to intrigue the reader. In line three I felt that the 'old' before 'history' seemed wrong and awkward, but I think it works ver well and is a novel way of description.
