Thanksgiving Challenge

[tungtied2u]

Mine's been submitted. I decided on a villanelle. It wasn't as hard as I thought to find rhyming lines with similar meters. Plus, I got to read a lot of wonderful poems.

Here is a small poem I put together of some of the rhyming pairs I *didn't* get to use.


1 - Was it her lips just on the other side
2 - tell me how your gloved and oiled hands slide

3 - summer cools golden while you’re away
4 - and sends a silent tune to tease our play

5 - the legacy of kisses bestowed all summer long
6 - starfields yield to sun. This is a song


1 - The Kissing Leaf by WickedEve
2 - beg your confession by SeattleRain

3 - October Odyssey II by WickedEve
4 - The Pangs of Focused Regret by JUDO

5 - Fecundity by Tristesse
6 - Painting Night by Angeline


Cordelia

I wrote this comment on tt's poem, but I wanted to share. Maybe it is the season, but this exercize made me feel so sentimental and weepy. This was such a great exercize, I feel like I have gotten to know some people here a lot better by reading through the poems out there today.

"I had forgotten all about that poem, must say you brought me to tears this morning literally, I love the lines inbetween, I am learning how personal poetry is with this exercize, I knew it but didn't know until I found myself sinking into other peoples cores and like this poem, feeling connected so intimately with someone I really do not know, I do, but I don't. Words. Thank you"



okay I really am going now
over the river and through the woods
be back Sunday, happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
