My Day 23 responses for the ekphrastic poetry challenge with Paul Brookes Responding to
French lavender flower head ( Karen Pierce Gonzalez ), Bridge tree big Ivy ( #SaraElizabethBell ) and RobertFredeKenter. For all images please see thewombwellrainbow.com
Today for TopTweetTuesday, Matthew M C Smith and host today, Matt Matt Gilbert I’m hoping my poem meets the brief, loosely based on ‘I know a bank whereon the wild thyme grows’ transposed to a wonderful secret garden in a French holiday gite. Thanks, Matt, for hosting!
Enjoy!
Fascinating visit today to #NewsteadAbbey , Notts, former home of poet Lord Byron, celebrating the 200 year anniversary. Greek dancers performed traditional dances, marking his support for Greek independence and volunteers in costume read poetry in various rooms. Interesting tour.
For #Day18 #ekphrasticpoetry #challenge with Paul Brookes I have 3 short trinet poems. I’m managing to keep up with #napowrimo so far, only missed 2 days but it’s quite the challenge fitting it all in. I’m writing in different forms for most of my poems. Here are the latest.
Hello TopTweetTuesday and host today Andy Perrin , thank you for reading and reviewing our poems for this inventive ekphrastic challenge. I have chosen the snake for my poem. Have a great day, everyone!
For The Broken Spine #PoemsAbout #cats I’m posting a prose poem about my first cat, Corky. A fun anecdote.
