Imaginary Garden

Grace gave us a chance to shorten our sails, by writing a poetry format challenge, called a Rondelet. It is a lot harder than it looks~




snapping the view
pixelated fragments remain
snapping the view
lingering memories I accrue
captured facets in my brain
collective presents I can claim
snapping the view

    Good for you, Ellie. I am having a Busy Week with no time to play. Maybe in the morning the muse will arrive with a cup of coffee for me! You did a good job with this one.

    Ooh! I love the word choices in this piece - I spot the jargon, and it works so well here.

    Thank you Sherry; I think the morning muse did real well by you today~ ;D

    Poetsquill-Thank you so much. I enjoyed the process, once I started to play with it.

    Cad-Thank you; it was fun wasn't it!

    Jinksy-Thank you; I have been a bit shy about trying some of the exercises. I knew I had to give this one a try. I love how lyrical everyone's sound~

    Kerry-Thank you Kerry! I tried, glad you spotted it. I will write a new poem though for the Jargon exercise ;D
