Struggling to become incarnated
embodied
really live in this body
and not my always-editing mind,
on what grounds do I engage
what re-incarnation might entail?
The closest I can get to understanding reincarnation
is making art of of found pieces of what is otherwise described
as junk.
A little of dis
a little of dat
Some glue, glitter, screws and fine wire.
Voila.
No…I didn’t make this. Wish I had! Click on the photo for other great pieces of found art.
Thanks to a favorite, Gautami Tripathy of Rooted for this week’s prompt, reincarnation on One Single Impression. Please visit that site for a plethora, a palette, a pandemonium of entries on this prompt.

- eureka!_ i found the right description for my so called ‘ poetry ‘- great piece , Beth! ..
Recycling at its best. Enjoyed that.
I agree with Tony as I see the recycle here and it is great.
Seems like a simile of life. Finding what we can and making the best of it. I enjoyed this. Nicely done.
What a wonderful and unique take on the prompt, recycling is a form of reincarnation. Beautifully said, and love the photo!
Thanks all youse!
And zoya–your comment really made me smile, because your poetry to me seems so well-polished, so full of kinetic potential–who knew it is held together with glue, glitter, screws and fine wire? I guess in the long run, everything is held together that way!
When I am recycled I hope I come back as beautiful as the bird in your photo! It is stunning! Just goes to show – there is no junk – not really! Love your take on the prompt!
bird reincarnated through the use of junks…nice one Beth!
g’morning and can I have a morning tea in your place? please drop by my place, too!
That’s a beautiful poem. I think there is a lot of intuition that goes into finding art in the ordinary and the discarded.
I love the bird you found. Was it for sale or on display at a museum or such? The poem is as pretty to me. Thank you.
‘The closest you can get to understanding incarnation’ raises a question.
How did you understand it before you found the bird? I don’t remember ever having my parents or anyone else telling nor do I remember looking it up or reading about it.
Come to think, I really don’t know the ‘supposed’ mechanics involved and I doubt any living person does. It may be like my ‘fooie foo bird,’ it doesn’t exist. :-) I rather suspect it does not.
..
That bird is beautiful, as are your words! I love art created from recycled elements.
I am totally in love with this manner of recycling! Great stuff, Beth.
I was thinking along the same lines this week, Beth.
As for a personal reincarnation, I do believe we are changing all the time. And for some people, I say Thank God!
Surely recycled has been underrated until now – this is superb!
Beth, this is great. what a different take on the prompt. Bringing bit’s and pieces together and there by reincarnation. Great work.
love, Melanie
Love the way you recycled!
