Moth and Flower Works, Poems in response to Alan's Challenge Options

[Guest_Jox_*]

Hi,

I think this may be my first ever posting in this forum.

I'm not claiming that the following are brilliant and deserve no crit but I have other works I need crit for, so I'll just place these in here for the moment and if anyone would like to comment I'd appreciate that. I may / may not place them for crit at a later date. Thank you.

There were inspired by:

Alan's Poem

Based on a ten-word challenge.

I've only just done them, so no details yet - will add later.

The ten words are:

white; moth; found; wayside; flower; height; design; innocent; carried; satin

These are my two responses, hitherto...

Work A: (Minimalist)

White moth found
wayside flower:
innocent design
carried satin
within its height.

(end)


Work B: (Not so minimalist)

Satin moth glided
onto white flower,
embedded into
wayside height.

Within it, found
an innocent design
carried ecstasy.

(end).


Thanks for any comments!

James.
