Our Poetry Jam task this week is to choose three titles from a list and create a poem. The poem titles below are from the Table of Contents of the Norton Anthology of Poetry, fourth edition. I simply closed my eyes, turned to three different pages, and pointed.
Your Words my friend (Canto 21 from Astrophil and Stella by Sir Philip Sidney
Frost at Midnight by Samuel Coleridge
One Flesh by Elizabeth Jennings
Love is a Cosmic Force painting by Alex Grey
Midnight Blaze
Your words my friend
burn through the reverie
until frost at midnight
mystically transforms
our truth
into a passionate blaze
melding two entities into
one flesh.
Jeanne I. Lakatos 2011
I love the final idea of synthesis.
ReplyDeleteThe passion that brings together disparate parts!
Beautiful.
We can thank Elizabeth Jennings for her fine poem, "One Flesh," for that final idea. Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteGood idea for the source material. An actual book!
ReplyDeleteI like the poem, too. Smoothly joined, Jeanne.
The picture works so well with your poem too! I love the imagery in the title "Midnight Blaze."
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I think this was poem was meant to be. :)
ReplyDeleteBarbara: Yes, I physically turned the pages, too! ; ) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLola: Thank you. Isn't Alex Grey's work amazing?!
Margaret: I couldn't believe my luck with chaos this time around. :)
