Poetic Thoughts - 2 Seam Poems - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Aug. 27, 2020

Poetic Thoughts header

2 Seam Poems

The two poems below contain the word "seam". One I wrote in 2006, the other I wrote while staying up all night for the 2008 election coverage. I saw the two poems side-by-side and they "seemed" to go together.

looking for a seam
in which to bust out
of the mundane form
which has been assumed
over time, repetition,
and resignation -
like better prospects
are not deserved

the seam is always there
everpresent
in front
though
often unperceived
until a little
dreaming
ensues

weaving a seam
in a scorched dream
from what has gone wrong
a sweet newer song
