Shipping - Miz Q #12



Week Two PROMPT TWELVE:PLAY Choose one of the poems you’ve written this month and play with it. *Google Translate it through two or three languages *Or you may want to build a new poem from the new parts. From my April first piece Expedition and then to something new...

The first verse is the English translation from the German, which was translated from Italian.
The Second ‘Shipping’ is the new piece.

Shipping

pay no mind
Fashion, develop forging
own Trope ... fluctuating

Lips have a song bag
scattered dust bag

in the attic of his
Spirit held as a portfolio in place
Time, as the pot of gold

Shipping

On the ship foghorns blew
Uniformed sailors; crew
Sang ditties to scatter ghosts

On his lips
his bagpipe bellowed, scattering gulls -
Roosting birds flew

Would they make safe landfall?
Captured Leprechaun's treasure -
Stowed below, would fate ensue


ensue: 2. to follow as a consequence.
Instead of a renga I alternated Kelly and Collom Lune forms, which use word count not syllables.

    Love how this stuff works, making sense out of nonsense. Like the first piece, really like the second one.
