You need a keen ear to hear
near flowers
it was the season of water lilies
tender
to understand the earth
let us celebrate, glorious moonlight
watching puffy clouds drift by
Shine On
my shoes are worn from the journey
there is a place beyond my drum
in your dark haunting eyes
what is that shrill coming from the trees

writing found poetry hosted by Laura
The task at hand is to compile a poem
using the first line of your first
poem for each month of 2022
I decided to use the photo from
my first poem of Jan. 2022
What a COOL way to compose a poem . I must try it. Yours is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis was indeed a fun way to create a poem. I def recommend giving it a try.
DeleteThis poem flows well. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have enjoyed reading everyone’s found poetry.
DeleteLove the second stanza True. Excellent assemblage my friend… 🙂✌🏼❣️
ReplyDeleteHi Rob, my friend, of course the second would speak to you as your poetry reflects the heavens beautifully.
DeleteAh a nice found one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog.
Best Wishes for 2023
Much❤love
so touchingly lyrical <3
ReplyDeleteThank you for the fun challenge.
DeleteI really enjoyed this - particularly the strange jolt in the last line. - Suzanne - Mapping Uncertainty
ReplyDeleteI too thought the last line was unsettling.
DeleteNicely done. I agree with Laura about your found poem being 'touchingly lyrical' and with Suzanne about the jolt in the last line.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim, this found poetry was creative and fun. I too was surprised at the lyrical feel of the poem. But, that last line def gave a twist of uneasiness.
DeleteA keen ear hears that shrill. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI like that as a keen ear can hear what many miss due to all the clattering
DeleteThis came together very well.
ReplyDeleteSurprising so!
DeleteTruedessa, I like the nature-focused theme of the poem, and I like how you enter nature towards the end.
ReplyDeleteThank you, i am quite amazed at the found poetry everyone is creating.
DeleteIt all hangs together so well. I love the idea of a tender season.
ReplyDeleteThe seasons of life can be sweet and tender.
DeleteMy favorite part is the opening stanza. Love the season of water lilies.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, I had forgotten about that poem - so it was nice to revisit it. thank you..
Delete"You need a keen ear to hear,"
ReplyDeleteand "to understand the earth."
These two lines thematically
connect the first two stanzas,
before the turn in the poem
in the third stanza.
That keen ear is a wonderful opening
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the journey this takes me on as a reader...would never guess it's a "found poem". Flows so well...and truly, it takes me on a journey!
