experimental poetry….”on one hand” by Diane Tegarden

Poem- On One hand-An Experiment in left-handed writing
by Diane Tegarden
(C) August 4, 2005

One day while waiting for a meal in a restaurant, I took out my ever-present writing pad, and decided to write a poem, the first half with my left hand and the rest with my right hand.

on one hand …

the alienation.
the external Gift of an
ancient, hollow life,
the remnants of civility
finally cast aside.
no more lies.

naked truth
is for the callous.
we need a blush of fantasy
to color the
starkness
of our inner canvas.

I turn the page and a chorus of music came to me:

paint your body
paint your mind
you can only fool yourself
about some things
some of the time.

I turn the page and put the pen in my right hand.

On the Other Hand …

I speak to you in
clear crisp terms
this way
I’m sure to be heard.

I don’t bother with
popularity.
I demand respect
and get the final word.

********************

Author’s Notes:

I purposely ignored the correct punctuation for the left-handed writing and reverted to formal punctuation with the right-handed writing as a device to separate the left and right functioning of the brain and to show how the Experiment affected my own writing style.

I am at your beck and call…down by the river!

I thought I’d combine a phrase for the day…being  at one’s “beck and call” (meaning at another’s complete disposal) and the various words for a beck or a stream!

A stream is a body of water with a current, confined within a bed and stream banks. Depending on its locale or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to as a branch, brook, beck, burn, creek, “crick”, gill (occasionally ghyll), kill, lick, rill, river, syke, bayou, rivulet, streamage, wash, run or runnel. (This reference is from Wikipedia at:  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream)

Fun with words isn’t as fun alone, so if you want to post a newfound word, a lyrical word, a weird word or an old fav,  please join in the fun!
