Puppilull's poetry prompts - 16. Poetry prompt 18 - Rubaiyat

1. My muse

 

My muse gets my brain to tumble

And often he makes me grumble

But then my world is inverted

By those thoughts that make me humble

 

2. An occurance at Owl bridge

 

With startling beauty all around

And all God’s love in nature found

In such despair he has to stand

As rustling leaves make peaceful sound

 

Time tumbles like grains of sand

to once more be one with the land

As reality is shaken

The thread of life slips from his hand

 

In a mere moment, life was taken

All humanity forsaken

Those fervent dreams were all in vain

As he’ll never more awaken

Tumble, grumble, inverted, humble – love it! There is motion and then a feeling; that's almost the sensation that being inspired itself. Wonderful.

 

On the longer poem, it is beautiful. I like your rhyme choices for this type of poem a lot, and I hope you will have filed away in your brain when some future inspiration hits. I bet we could see some stunning Rubaiyat from you!

I haven't had the time to study the prompt, Puppilull, but you gave beauty to death... as a poem it had power for me... and I understood "Muse" very well... cheers... Gary

While the muse poem more or less wrote itself, the other one was much harder. So much emotion it threatened to take over completel. I guess that's the difference between written poem and silent movie.

 

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Hi Pup!

Loved the Muse poem. I thought it was brilliant.

The poem about the bridge, was wonderful. You told the story I saw in the video and made it beautiful.

You did a terrific job! Thanks for sharing.

I actually had to struggle hard to focus when writing the bridge poem. All that emotion threatened to flood me completely. The relationship to my muse is more relaxed, even if I can be challenged a lot...

Like I said before, my muse poem just appeared in my mind and all I had to do was write it down. Apparently, musie wanted the spotlight... I think the motion - emotion captures how my muse works. Never standing still, always trying to be honest.

 

The bridge movie was much harder. I was on the verge of being overpowered by my own reaction. So I had to distance myself, which made it difficult to say what I truly felt.

 

Thanks for reading and reviewing!
