SW 102 (short): Inspired


peak, powders, lost, calls, locks, pit,
moon, staff, stone, after, written, petals


Inspired


Moon garden petals taunt upon                                     
their silver staff do pit their
wits with gently gnarled
stone offering up
lost voices...                                          
                                                             
Written in the peak of
midnight when the owl calls -
Powders of their stamen fall
seemingly lost ...

After dawn has arrived,
out of the locks of dreams
the fairies trod softly collect,
the verse, and bake them into
biscuits for the muses morning tea

    Oh how clever! Didn't know where you were going, loved it when I arrived, "biscuits for the muses morning tea."

    I like the idea of fairies baking biscuits. Nifty formatting.

    Hi Jules, thanks much for the visit to the Fit Fat Mermaids blog. The warning on the Undead in the Netherworld blog is one of those "just in case" things. We really don't have any explicit material. But just in case someone complains about the salty language or the fact that we posted a picture where Eric Cartman was hanging a moon, that sort of thing, then they can't say they weren't warned that the blog wasn't "PG."
    I love your poem using the prompt! One thing leads to another, and it's very thought provoking.

    WOW, Jules. This has a Shakespeare quality to it. An interesting read.

    Jules, there are so many lovely moments in this poem, and your format (Left, Center, Right) plus italics made for a very nice visual as well. The whole piece had me thinking of a Maxfield Parrish print! Peace, Amy

    Jules, you're right. Our wordles do seem to be on a similar track.
