Originality in Fact by Maria L. Berg 2023

Today I’m out to capture fact in originality and originality in fact. Thinking of the cool effect I got with the iridescent plastic disc, I wondered what would happen with a small piece of aluminum foil on the colored clear plastic filters. I thought it would maybe black out the shape of the aluminum foil but with a light shimmer or stretch around the edges. What actually happened really surprised me. It created a window in the colored plastic. I’m so excited about today’s discovery. It makes no sense to me, but it’s very exciting.

Fact in Originality by Maria L. Berg 2023

2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 23

Today’s prompt is to write an appreciation poem.

Thanks Giving

I appreciate the fact that
originality is not always appreciated
that tradition and repetition
make people feel safe
doing the same thing
adhering to expectation
breeds calm contentment
And though I appreciate this fact,
originality is what I am
thankful for
It fuels me, is my battery
lights me to glowing
makes me appreciate each morning
where ideas await exploring

I appreciate that it’s open link night at dVerse Poets Pub so I can link up my poem and read and appreciate the poems people have chosen to link up.

Happy Reading and Writing!

  4. This is absolutely stellar writing! I especially admire this part; “originality is what I am thankful for/It fuels me, is my battery.”❤️❤️

  6. Happy Thanksgiving! I loved the poem, it is not something I often hear, because it shows a trait in a positive and light-hearted way, whilst nowadays I find it mentioned mostly in a negative context.
