This one was written using Robert Peake's prompt at Readwritepoem.
He gave a list of words of which we were to incorporate twelve, along with something from another poem that didn't pan out (the chestnuts), something that tastes terrible (I'm sure that a number of things in this poem would taste terrible, if I was foolish enough to try it - the dried seed pod, maybe), and a sound that makes you happy (the chestnuts again).
Okay, I'm being a bit loose on the taste there, but I think I met the rest of the requirements. I'm not wildly excited by this piece but I feel as if I'm getting back on track after yesterday's disastrous piece (which will probably disappear from the blog at the end of the month).

The required words simply disappeared into the beauty of your piece, seamlessly. Very ethereal and warm verse -- I really liked it...

ReplyDeleteThis is beyond beautiful. Especially for such a difficult prompt!
ReplyDeleteAgreed with the others. You should be excited by this, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with this. Thanks for the poem.
ReplyDeleteSmooth & visual; very satisfying read. Salute.
ReplyDeleteThis is one I'll read aloud later to my family. You made this prompt look so easy. I really liked it.
ReplyDeleteI love the way it focuses on the minor and expands to the major - the last verse is especially beautifu. The word 'clatter' is perfect.
