My first foray into the world of Tweetspeak.
I've accepted the invitation to August's themed writing project: found poems around the theme of Rain.
This specific project challenges one to craft a poem using book spines as the prompt.
Below is my own found poem, inspired by books from my own collection.
Here and now
this common ground
is but dust
and to be on this road
is to
journey into the whirlwind
To accept this as our fate
is to etch out stories
in some grand dusty book of days
all the while
knowing
that this is not
the amazing grace
that reveals
our true being
Home
rather
is like carrying
water for elephants
It is in
the daily
that we find
the way of the heart
You are a truly amazing writer, Holly. I so enjoy reading your entries. Never stop!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Really, really fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you here again!!!
DeleteHolly that was so good. I am impressed with your writing. I didn't know I was related to a famous author. Keep it up girl. You're going places. Love, Lori
DeleteI love tweetspeak too, so found your poem there. this is beautiful, tells a story, words flow naturally, which is difficult to do when you're organizing someone else's words. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLeah,
DeleteThank you for stopping by and taking the time to read. This was my first time following one of the writing prompts and I thought it was such a great way to stretch my brain. Thank you for your kind words.
I really love your poem! This is my first foray into the Tweetspeak themed writing project, too, and it has been so much fun. My poem (which I plan to post on Monday) also features a Henri Nouwen title. :-)
