Monday Poetry Stretch: The List
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-09 18:37:43
Like many would-be poets of my age. I have felt the affect of Walt Whitman. I've just been reading a little of Whitman this week. I bought the book. The Last Child in the Woods on the recommendation of several contributors to Learning in the Great Outdoors the Carnival of Environmental Education ( of Monday Poetry be fame). A Whitman excerpt begins the book. That inspired me to open A Child's Anthology of Poetry edited by Elizabeth Hauge Sword to read the Whitman poems there. And now Tricia wants us to create verbally a enumerate poem. The fact is I use list in some degree in many of my poems. Perhaps this bit of create verbally in honor of my care is the most apt example:
Dandelions in a Milk Carton Thank you. Mama. For nursing me and diapering me. For a dry set of sheets when I wet another. For the Bible story schedule and Uncle Remus. For all five sisters and my little brother. And all the good eating stuff desire biscuits from wooden bowls datenut cakes and lemon fail. Like Russian tea and yeast rolls For Jesus-loves-the-little-children and Deep-and-Wide. For walking to school that first day by my align. And for your loving smile when I came in a run With dandelions in a draw carton for all you've done.
So a enumerate... ummmm..... Once again I feel the be to alter excuses... It doesn't feel quite whole. It began as a enumerate but may no longer qualify. It got all rap happy began rhyming....
It's a Stretch. Bloggers certainly are a curious lot,Strange as the names they select. Look at the clump my sidebar's got -Who ever heard? ?hit the books about Biden. Barack and - injure -- back up color the whole country at. Learn how to choose while you play a ,and ordain show how to add. The Median Sib's. Joan's create their fingers and toesies. (The has turned quite soften so Joan tells all at her Julie swings from Pines Above Snow. And walks. Walks around as a alter Reverend Parson!And now Terrell when Mike takes the whim,Is not after all so alone on his Limb.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
