The scissor hand poet

By Donnetria Reed

By Donnetria Reed Published 5 years ago 1 min read

As a visual writer

I write and I write

Re-writing and rewriting

Perfecting my in site

To align every letter

Just right.

Creating

Collages

Of creativeness.

I usually start with a mess.

Then I rearrange

Cutting and chopping

My words

Positioning verbs

And adverbs

Into meaningful

masterpieces!

Mastering

my pieces

one word at a time.

Sometimes

repositioning

every line.

No time for typing

I am old-school

so I’m writing.

No copy and paste

I’m literally

cutting and pasting

creating .....

Memories ....

And art.

Framing pictures

of my mental thoughts

Cut to motivate

Cut to inspire

cut to inform

Cut to explain

cut to enjoy!

A visual

that you can touch

a combination

of verbiage

that means so much.

With my scissors

my notebook

And my pen

I steer my journey

From within

And I am able to create

a uniqueness

that can’t be touched....

It can only be cut

Into a thounds pieces

Of something better!
