Hi all. YEP - here I go again! :)
I thought it might be fun to try and use several of Sylvia Plath's Poetry snippets and form a new poem using partial lines from her various poems. I will supply the lines. You can use them as the beginning of a line or mix them up as long as the snippets remain intact. Good luck! Here are the snippets you must use in your poem (in any order). Feel free to rhyme or write free verse or any other type of poetry style to your liking! There are 12 snippets. You must use at least 8. Cheers and good luck! ~Cleo :pharoah: a botanical drawing Riding the rip tide your nakedness shadows our safety The light burns Under the eyes of the stars Flowers and bluebirds a glitter of seas Contemplating a world a wave of flickering grass in a dawn of cornflowers frail as the halo Each wedge wears ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to." ~ J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
Collaboration feeds innovation. In the spirit of workshopping, please revisit those threads you've critiqued to see if the author has incorporated your ideas, or requests further feedback from you. In addition, reciprocate with those who've responded to you in kind. "I believe it is the act of remembrance, long after our bones have turned to dust, to be the true essence of an afterlife." ~ Lorraine M. Kanter Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings.
