A Mosaic of Trinkets in Londemere Lit
I finally broke my publishing curse
It’s been almost a year since one of my poems got published anywhere. I’m elated to share A Mosaic of Trinkets, a poem I wrote for Londemere’s issue 03: iridescence. I loved the theme and their motto of publishing the intangible and knew I had to submit.
The poem is a concrete poem and is supposed to represent a mosaic painting. Each segment represents individual pieces of stained glass and are stuck together, leaving white spaces (gaps or cracks) in between them.
The poem reads in multiple ways—the traditional horizontal reading, vertically followed by jumps to the next horizontal segment, and a third coalescence. For fear of giving an over-explanation, I’ll stop here and leave you with the poem:
If you have any thoughts on this poem, I’d love to know : )

The thing I loved the most was the possibility to play with different reading orders!
Almost creating new mosaics of the pieces you offered.
This is SO GOOD omg, so talented!
