Deja Vu Poem by ONElia AVElar

Deja Vu

Rating: 3.1


While....................................walking
on the street............................today
i saw my features.............imprinted
on an elder................woman`s face
like simple......................copy-paste
of nose, ......................cheek-bones,
eyebrows, ........................my mouth
....................................heart-shaped
on a barely.............crumpled sheet,
walking past...................each other
long seconds of...glance exchange
Encounter.......like.............a deja vu.
Was..... I.... a ghost to her........then;
coming from her past life, .......too? ....

What a fascinating construction! This and your poem about pregnancy - so visual! You inspire me to experiment for myself with shape poems. Fascinating ideas, too.

Intriging. Wouldn't it be amazing to physically see our older selves directly in front of us?

I've recently decided that I was Humphrey Bogart in my previous life, and was re-incarnated only without the money, fame, looks, and class...Humphrey must have done something awful to be punished thus...really clever write O...very thought provoking...Coach

I've often pronounced / translated Deja VU as 'DAYS of You'... illusionary yet repeatable experiences expressed...oh so Onely.... right here... On ya! ! !
