I had a dream about the poetry prompts last night. Something about structured writing setting the mind free. Must be my subconscious getting tired of me postponing my next poetry.

 

As luck would have it, I also remember another dream. The subconscious is working hard... Will try and do something.

 

Edit: Realised I'm in the wrong thread... But I'll get to the free verse too!

That's amazing. Yes, order alone can give us freedom (as Goethe said...)

 

Next prompt is going to be a fun one, I hope :yes:

A return to this form for me. Bucket 1 inspired this with his link to two idiots standing on a endangered species of sea turtle... Nature and her power makes us who we are, and we need to respect that... or end up endangered ourselves... sorry for the preaching... then again, not really...

Here is my take of the second lake scene.  I hope I interpreted the assignment correctly.  I present Joyful Youth.

 

Joyful Youth

 

Summer sun overhead, shaded lake--instant relief.

Weighted clothes stifle, quick swim

a soothing dip?

 

Water intices, calling like a Sailor's Siren.

Clothes cannot shed off fast enough,

Warm air hugs, radiating heat clings

 

Shocking splashes on bare skin

No judgement passed

chlidish, joyful youth!

 

Water all around, in, out, up, down 

round and around the edge.

Cooling delight, then wait...

 

Reality set back, adults should not

Naked men, awed look on

standing frozen.

 

One in shock runs, returns to safety

other stays proud uniqueness.

Last in waters cool ignorance.

I think this is a great response to the prompt video. I particularly like the inclusion of the line "childish, joyful youth!" - those few words capture the spirit of the scene perfectly, which I remember as a great realization from the book as well. Well done. Thanks for taking the Poetry Prompt challenge
