Good Afternoon 🙂
Today’s prompt was to use concrete nouns in a poem to convey an idea or feeling, instead of using more abstract ones.
I read the below to a friend and it they deemed it very obscure – albeit poetic – and said not many of my readers would understand it 🙁
What do you think this poem is talking about?
Please let me know in the comments…
A POTENT POTION
I measure out the feathers
(Sub the black for gold instead)
Throw in handfuls of rose petals
A dirty, dusty bed;
A leaky, twisted faucet
Joins the pile (with some songs)
My outlook becomes darker –
And this recipe is done.

Hmm…I read it as expressing desire for a break from household chores. But, I really have no idea. 🙃

I probably should change my sheets more often… x
