Write at least one Free Verse poem based on your personal reaction to the following scenes from the 1985 film, Room with a View. Use any syllable count you like or number of lines that come to you, but please keep in mind the internal structure of your prose poem.

Kiss

I can feel you watching the storm threatening to break free.

Planets are colliding, giving birth to ideas.

And they will try to cage them.

Separate them again.

And you stroll through the fields, laughing at their clumsy attempts.

Number one.

I read this one a few times, thinking of different meanings each time.

 

The first time I read it I was thinking of one person seeing the storm brewing in the other person's eyes, but the second time I read it, I thought of the storm and the planets colliding being one thing, and how the planets colliding could mean a kiss.

 

I'll have to read it again. I love poems like this that really make me think because they could be taken so many different ways. :)

Thanks for taking the poetry prompt challenge, Adi! You mentioned on the prompt a Whitman-type channeling of emotions here.

 

I actually get more of an E. M. Forster vibe, as his work is often about the colliding worlds happening, although they are mostly unseen. That sort of tie-in would bring you back to the clips from Room with a View perfectly.

 

Can you tell? I think this poem is pretty darn brilliant.
