Who are you?

Who are you?

A perfect fit,

got me into

loving me.

Are you like

me or are you a

shadow, a hook

who got me into

being a child, or an

adult with an eye

for a future, or a

past like a fish

on dying hook

closing an

open

eye.

Note: I do not know if this poem is good enough to be published on the blog. I do not know if I have been able to convey what I wanted to, in the first place. My thought behind this poem is: It is a poem wherein a girl is asking a boy as to who he is, who has been a perfect fit in her life. He has taught her to love herself. Is he like her or is he her shadow or is he like a hook who has hooked her into being a child, and also an adult with her eyes set on her future, or, is he there to remind her of her past where she was like a fish stuck on a hook, dying and closing her open eye. The last words (in maroon) of each line make up the poem:

You Fit Into Me by Margaret Atwood

*As a part of NaPoWriMo. #5
*The prompt by NaPoWriMo today was to write a “golden shovel". This form was invented by Terrance Hayes in his poem, The Golden Shovel. The last word of each line of Hayes’ poem is a word from Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem We Real Cool. Brooks’ poem can be read by reading the last word of each line of Hayes’ poem.

*Also, do visit my friends who are participating in the challenge. You won't be disappointed.
