POETRY
Touloper
• ‘n Mens wat hoog bo die grond op ‘n tou balanseer
• Metafoor: dit is ‘n simboliese gedig wat ‘n metafoor is van hoe jy jou lewe moet balanseer;
die gedigter moet nie op sy probleme fokus nie, net op nie val nie.
• Digvorm: vryevers (geen leestekens, rympatroon of hoofletters nie)
die storms woed weer in ons huis vandag (onrus in die huis; storms = bakleiery; weer = dit gebeur gereeld)
maar vol durf (bravery) klim ek op die tou (“durf” = moed/dapper)
voetjie vir voetjie skuifel ek vorentoe (“voetjie” = klein treetjies; “skuiful” = stadig aksie; spreker sonder
selfvertroue)
verby die verwyt-winde van (“verwyt” = kritiseer; winde = bakleiery)
het jy al weer
ek het mos gesê Die woorde word beklemtoon deur dit skuinsdruk; direkte woorde van ouers;
ouers blameer mekaar of die seun
wat het jy gedoen
gekwelde (concerned) oë kyk vir my van doer onder (“kwel” = bekommerd; personifikasie: emosie deur hulle
se oe gedra; “gekwelde oe” = sinekdogee + personifikasie; “doer” = ver-afstand gee die idee van veiligheid; tiener is
verwyderd (separated) van die konflik)
ver verwyder van my kollig-balanseertruuk (“balanseertruuk” = hy prober balans in sy lewe hou; hy weet hy is
in die kollig (spotlight) en mense hou hom dop (keep an eye on him))
my tou web tussen (“web” = beskerm hom; kan hom vasvang; die spreker is die prooi (prey) wat in die web
vasgevang is)
mure en deurhandvatsels (“mure en deurhandvatsels” is wat hy in die kamers sien; “deurhandvatsels” = ironies:
hy sal hulle gebruik om uit sy ouerhuis te ontsnap, maar die ouerhuis moet veilig wees (should be safe))
familiefoto’s en almanakke (“familiefoto’s” verwys na goeie tye)
blitsende tv-beelde en internetkonneksies (“blitsende tv-beelde” skakel met storm soos weerligstrate)
tot by die tuinhek (“tuinhek” impliseer hy beweeg van konflik; moontlik sy pad na vryheid)
ek is hoog bo die grond (hy voel veilig ten spyte van die konflik)
weg van alles behalwe die wind (winde pla; maar hy probeer sy lewe balanseer; hy kan nie regtig (really)
daarvan wegkom nie (bakleiery))
maar ek dink nie daaraan nie (“maar” = wending; hy sal nie aan die bakleiery dink nie; jy kan nooit van jou
probleme wegkom (get away) nie)
ek hou my oog op die tou (hy bly gefokus op balanseer)
ek balanseer my lewe
en voet vir voet skuif ek vorentoe (progressie: “voetjie” verander na “voet” = meer selfvertroue; “vorentoe”
(forward) = groei)
deur die storm (“in” verander na “deur” = progressie)
