First Person Poem by Magic Box

First Person

Rating: 4.3


Scattering words
I pick them up one by one
Put it into my magic box
Pour a barrel of paint
The same of my soul's color
Sometimes black, sometime blue
May be red or something new
Shake well up and down
Take them out as small blocks
Put them out to dry
Build them into small lines
Two or three, inspired by a theme
They take some shape
Of a Hero (Villain) an imaginary game
What they are, you see
Is what really defines me
Where all these coming from?
Cogito ergo sum

thank you for the explanation which I knew that you had meant, but a barrel of 'paint' is something cloudy to me, as we are not in the ancient time and have evolved from being barbaric to modern and then to the technocrats. when many of our friends here have agreed upon your views, what is the big deal of me objecting the metaphor that you have used, so I still stick to the objection and I wish you good luck...
