paper glides (an object poem)

Thin paper glides
with the hanging air
disrupting the
curtain of silence.

Thick, hard cover kisses
the wooden surface
of the mahogany table,

A page aching for ink
waits for the sweaty palm,
the first press of pen’s tip
the drop of the first blot.

New chapter starts.

O is for Object Poem.

The Dinggedicht or Object Poem is a things poem.This is a genre of poetry in which communication of mood or thought is made through acute observation of things and symbolic concentration. It was introduced in the early 1900s by Austrian poet, Rainer Maria Rilke while studying impressionist paintings.

Dinggedicht are:

1. framed at the discretion of the poet.

2. formed by acute observations of concrete images in the world around, expressing symbolically an event, social condition, mood or idea.
