NaPoWriMo - 2017 - 25. April 25 : Love of Two Perky Swans
This year my list of titles comes from Sunflower Splendor: Three Thousand Years of Chinese Poetry. You can start with a title from this list or find one in some other anthology’s table of contents. Pick a title and write a poem, or see how many of these titles you can include in a single poem that still has meaning and sense. Or perhaps repeat one title as an anaphora phrase to begin each line or stanza.
A jump start poem as required by the prompt. The title I had used as jump start are in bold letters.
Love of Two Perky Swans
No word
Is enough, when
His lengthy fingers play
That electrical instrument
For me
On sound
I boldly dance
Was creation of him
Which mesmerised the cores of
My heart
Spring rain
Soaked us throughout
Yet, we just carry out
Like two perky swans, in the lake
Of love
Pale blaze
In the mountains
Click some pictures of us
Of our precious moments and when
We kiss
The below two poems are emerged using only the titles of the poetry anthologies. But they were not jump start poems like above. You can call the as found poetry, as I selected titles from the anthology titles list in the prompt send by Val and GA. The first one is from the GA poetry anthology titles as the second one from Val's prompt and anthology titles suggestions. I wanted to write so many, but haven't got that much time to do so, even though I was excited about the prompt. Enjoy them well.
Storm
Cracks of time
Whispers in the dark.
Remember,
A storm is coming
Into the unknown
Random Pleasures
Let me gallop, let me go
To amuse myself
Climbing the heights
To try to find
Random pleasures
Upon seeing the fireflies
Strolling along the riverbank,
Looking for flowers
Thinking of the way home
In a dream I traveled among
The weary road
Enjoying coolness
~Emi.
