Today’s Prompt is to create a Remix of a poem from earlier in the month. I had already planned to re-work my construction/deconstruction poem, so this gives me a little more incentive to give that one a little creative attention. I wrote an initial stanza and then ran it through a Whisper-Down-the-Lane series of Google translations.
Re-De-Construction
by Beth Weaver-Kreider
Every day, I am remade,
every day, I’m reconstructing,
every day, I’m rebuilding,
reborn from the husk,
retrieved from the waters,
regenerated from the shell
of yesterday’s creature,
from the body of tomorrow.
I’ll give you another day.
I did another one of these the other day, using a form of the last line of my Day of Reckoning Poem: Now we must reckon with women.
Now we must reckon with women.
Now we must count on women.
Now we must trust women.
Now we must rely on women.
Now we have to believe in women.
So, we must believe in women.
Therefore, we believe that women should be.
Therefore, we believe there should be women.
That is why we believe that there should be a woman.
We should have women to think.
Gratitude List:
