Fractured Poetry BkA
A gold necklace given to me by my grandmother
- She lived in a rural part of the country
- Away from the bustling cities
- Rural, bustling, away
I chose the first sentence since it accurately describes what made my grandmother stand out from the rest of my family, since she lived in a rural area while my mother and I live in Canada, and my father and sister lived in a lavish 5-floor townhouse.
I chose the second phrase since she also could not stay with us in the capital due to her old age, but since she cared about us so much, and she knew that she didn’t have much time, she was still willing to go out and spend time with my mother, sister and I when I went to the countryside with them.
I chose the three words since they were the previous words that I had used for the phrase and sentence in my story.
A gift from my elder, gold and pure
Her time is nigh over, slow and sure
This chain she gave me is all but what’s left
Of my sweet old grandmother, where I would have wept
