About This Author
Guten tag! My name is Jessica and I'm 19 years old. I obviously love to write; I have been writing since I was six years old, but I became an avid writer in sixth grade. I also love listening to music and studying history. I am obsessed with Civil War, World War II, Russian, Romanov, German, and Norweigan history. I listen to mostly metal, some country, and grunge.

Alexander's Ghost Alexander's Ghost
Jessica Marie
I wrote this free verse poem back in 2012 and posted it to my Blogger account. It received wonderful responses such as "Neat poem and good pictures. :)" that I wanted to include it on Writing.com for the Writing.com community to enjoy. Enjoy a poem about my favorite mobile by Alexander Calder, as found in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
translucent spectre
floats freely on the ceiling
everyone in awe.
Free-floating, suspended in air;
The statue, back arched, stares.
White tiles coupled with gray wire,
"ooh"s and "ahh"s never tire.
Below the spectre, awaits
hustling-bustling, lines straight
or curving in and out.
The droning and humming, the shouts--
another day in the city, away
from the heat and humidity, stay;
this ghost was created for you,
for Alexander lived here too.
The god father of mobiles,
illuminations of grays and teals,
reds, whites, blues and yellow--
such a colourful fellow.
This ghost will wait for you,
with magnificent stories too;
grab the pale white tiles;
let your imagination stay awhile. |
