[stylist] Two samples from the 40 word collection of poetryI'm working on

Mon Jun 6 14:50:45 UTC 2011

Thank you Shawn.

And Donna.. not really developed myself but done as a  challenge on a site 
I help moderate.  The original challenge was 60 words,  then it went to 50 
or less.. and I thought to make it a real challenge.. 40  words.. no more or 
no less.  It's been fun and the bonus for me is that it  kick started my 
writing again.

Robert... that 'pen of curiosity' lives in all of us,  I believe.. and I 
also think you are much more poetic than you  know.

These have been fun for me to do.. and your feedback  has me really 
thinking about doing a book of these short  verses.    Thank you everyone!

Thanks!

I also liked those.  I'm not a big poetry  person, but those were good.

Shawn

Hi Myrna,
I liked these too. I didn't get the  original post for some reason, so I'm
doubly glad Robert responded. Is the  40 word poem a specific form or
something you are developing  yourself?

The Curiosity piece  made me think that --- I really understand poetry as a
form. It made me  think that --- maybe somewhere in my jumble of thoughts,
that I do have  heights or valleys in thought and phrasing that could stand
for the poetic  voice.

Here are a couple of those 40  word  pieces I told ya'll about during the
phone meeting.. and I  didn't forget to send  Secrecy either... I wrote it
down so I  wouldn't  lol  Hope you all  enjoy my latest writing  'kick
start'..))

Curiosity

We write of those   things
that make us wonder,
cause us to question,
even   reconsider
what we think we know
and understand.. I call
this the  'pen  of curiosity'...
may it always be 
filled with its  unique
brand of  ink.

Secrecy

Shadows cross a distant   sky
Carrying leftover thoughts of day now past
Whispering to stars  and  moon
Those secrets that only shadows
Can share... swearing all  to  secrecy
Until a new day deems they be brought
Into the  sun's  light.
