The exercise:
Stealing an idea from a teacher of the marvelous Archi Teuthis, go have a look at some of National Geographic's photos of the day. Choose one and write a poem or some prose inspired by it, and include a link to the one you chose to use.
Mine:
April 13th - Hanging laundry
The wind makes the sheets snap,
A gentle country rap
Of cotton against air,
Backed by blonde whirling hair
Freed from its Sunday cap.
She could become a pair
With the silken red square
That's broken from this trap,
Now flying with no map...
If only she would dare.

ReplyDeleteNice one g2 - I like that you're not afraid to play with the form of your poem.
ReplyDeleteI tend to stick to similar formats in all of mine... perhaps it's time to make an exercise out of shapely poems.
Hey Marc, I know you've already read my post :D but just in case anyone else wants to look at my response to the photo thing! lol
