Sylvia Plath Snippet Challenge, For the Poet in You! Options

[Cleo_Serapis]

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!

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

UNIVERSE-SHATTERING PLATHITUDES
(Satire)

Contemplating a world unknown to me,
say a botanical drawing,
or those of flowers and bluebirds,
I'm riding the rip tide of my dullish ignorance.

The light burns feebly through a glitter of seas;
a wave of flickering grass on the mist-tossed shore
resolving in a dawn of cornflowers
under the eyes of the stars fast fading now.

The partial moon indeed seems made of cheese
as each wedge wears a wrapper waxed not "Eden",
but "Edam", frail as the halo of a waning sun,
while your nakedness shadows our safety

to my bitter end .....
