Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy

The Whole Blue Day (Wedding Quartet IV - Something Blue) Downy skies Bountiful waters, lake blue of course, and waves with root beer froth Navy truck (to get us there) Groom, true blue love, of soothing blue and pewter (ah, so handsome!) Me, similarly frocked for our day And, for a moment in time, seeing...

Wedding Quartet III - Something Borrowed Borrowed - the earth we stood on the day we said, "I do." Borrowed - the best man, from his clan, a priceless presence Borrowed - the maid of honor, from the best man I borrowed your breath when we kissed But I gave you myself for keeps.

[quote user="bfahrenbac"] Copper Cat, This is touching, both the groom and bride blushing. And I love the first line "Askance she looked" - I love the phrasing of that. Bo [/quote] Bo, I've been waiting to use that phrase for awhile now...do any of you have just pieces of poems...

Wedding Quartet II - Something New Askance she looked As if the waters would pull her in Instead she hears the call Of a young eagle overhead He blesses the groom And kisses the bride Both blushing, fresh in the day Fresh in the virgin day

The Wedding Quartet - Something Old (Not One Iota) Did you look by the chair - the yellow one? Check under your newspaper - you left the business pages on the coffee table - or try the window ledge above the kitchen sink. Honestly, I simply cannot imagine. If you would leave it on and wouldn’t play so...

Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy

Marrying on a cliff A cliff by the lake A lake by the river The one flowing to the sea It is I who feel so old In my body underhauled My love many years older Is my youthful spirit We gather on the ravaged edge Near the fresh but ancient waters Twisted trees our witnesses Bowing from the winds So we...

Lori, I am SO glad you joined in on the poem game. And your poem was excellent, excellent, and excellent. The word choices were perfect for a rant, and I love the idea of getting even with acetone. What a delightfully 'bad' picture poem. And "Wedding Quartet" - yes, that would be it...

A grand new ending, Stan. There was a blip in the first post, now there's transition and then resolution. Gives that sense of identification. It's a good concept to work on. And the poem is good. Amazing how a poem looks you in the eye, and dares you to rewrite those few words or a new ending...

10 minute poem: glue Tacky as Glue that black vinyl mini skirt that flimsy leopard print blouse and her all giggly while she takes sips of my boyfriend’s beer and blows suds into his face Whew, where did that come from? A very sticky subject. Bo

Re: 10-minute Friday poems with a buddy

Hey Kate, Evocative, hungry, mystical poem. You are certainly a word weaver, Stan. So many layers, actually multi-layers, in both of our poems. There's the poet's poem, and then the reader's interpretation - the one they assume the poet is telling about them personally. Isn't that some...
