Pensieve's Poetic License-July


I am going to give it a try this month. Robin has come up with her own creative poem type.

What is a Pensieve? A titled, five-line poem; each line correlates to one of the five senses--sight, sound, scent, taste, touch--and describes the subject (title). The goal is for the reader to take on the poem as his own, being able to "experience" your subject through your words, by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling what you described.

E-Bay
I spot my item on the screen.
The bell sounds and the challenge begins.
Wrist flicking,  Mouse clicking,
Breathing in the aroma of victory.
Nevertheless I have also tasted the agony of defeat.
All will be well when I have my prize in hand.
Go visit Robin @ Pensieve for more poems.

Pensieve's Poetic License-February


Our poem's this month are based on the sonnet.
It is supposed to be about something we love.

Music Inside

There is music in my soul
Melody and harmony in part
Out of my mouth it plays a role
Delivering dreams straight from the heart.

The notes I play are felt
The chorus follows verses
Words that spark and melt
Bring feelings to the surface.

How much of me can be revealed
What part of me is shown
The music can provide a shield
A safe refuge, a home.

All my hopes and all my dreams
Quietly display my world as its theme.

Please go explore the other sonnets at Robin's.  


Also this lovely package came for me this week.  It contained
some sweet melt-in-your mouth treats and a cookbook
that I won from Robin at Pensieve's.  What a delight!
