Poetry Patchwork Cat

From Imaginary Garden

Following Imaginary Garden's prompt, I tried to write a poem based on the above picture.

Patchwork Cat



Poetry patchwork cat
At your service!
Tonight, under the stars, Patchwork
Cat brings colours to life
Helps tiny seedlings to grow
Waters them with words
Of great inspiration
Reads them letter of joy
Kicks the speaking slugs away

Come and talk to this cat
And your sorrows melt
Towers of poems and colour await.

    Awe - my cat makes me smile too - I'm not sure I'd ever say she was at my service, though ;)

Promises - Poem

Image
Wheat field image from  Stockvault   Promises I will think of you As the sun sets on wheat fields I had said, convinced Field rampaged, violent Winds pushing continents a part of me, of you. We were mere strangers. I discovered new wheat fields Basked in the warm glow The sun not setting and the colours not fading But I was a rose With thorns too prickly Oh, emotions - too needy A tiger to be. Two kites were broken I'm the victim and culprit Add another stripe.

Dialogue Between a Stone and a Star

Image
Also shared on Poets United  and Imaginary Garden With Real Toads It's day two of NaPoWriMo, and I'm back with a late night poem! (If you consider this time to be late. I suppose it depends!). I've been reading Stones and Stars , dipping in and out, since I never read poetry collections cover to cover, and the poems are really lovely. Then, last night, I couldn't sleep, and at around 2 am I had an idea for a poem - a conversation between a stone and a star. At first I had the idea that the stone would be lamenting its lack of qualities to the star, and then I realised it would be much nicer to have the stone itself know of its qualities.. Yes it's all a little silly, but the idea stayed with me all day. I very much hope you like it! -- Dialogue Between a Stone and a Star The Star: I am above, dear stone, both in matter and place I quite literally fill the whole of space. I shine and give hope to lost souls in the dark And lost trav...
