If things get too sticky over the Holidays, you can divert your attention to this thread. I will start if off by giving one word. So how about this. Someone gives a word and the next person that comes along gives a poem about said word, or has the word in the poem. Be nice and let others in the rotation though. This is original writing through, so please only stuff you have written yourself. It doesn’t have to be one you just came up with off the top of your head, but that works too Smile
first word : Quickly
example for next poster:
Quickly came the rabbit
running through the field
stealthily gathering carrots
for his Christmas meal…
Spectrum of colour
blending,merging.
Archway in heaven
Beckoning,urging.
Search for the answer
Find new beginnings
At the end of the rainbow
Gather your winnings.
Thick woolly hat on
nose all aglow
out in the garden
playing in the snow
More coal on the fire
wet clothes to be dried
snowstorm is coming
everyone inside.
A clean, new, fresh and baby
new year emerges
Can it be a slate as wide open as
a Kansas field is open to each of us
Despite my own cynicism, I look forward
to this fresh new start
called January
our new year unfolding even as we blink
Baby pink,baby blue,
babies come in ones and twos
small snubed noses
clear blue eyes
hungry bellies,pierceing cries,
Who would believe
such tiny mights
could cause so many
sleepless nights!
Fairy lovers arms entwined
snowbound forest silverlined,
silent shadows black as coal
crystal snowflakes reach their goal
All beneath the woodland bed
lie sleeping creatures warm and fed
whilst Pan on his pipes plays a soulful tune,
neath twinkling stars and silver moon.
