Lonely Talk

by erratic hippie   Dec 24, 2005


[This was a writing practice in Lit class where we took a bunch of titles from a table of contents and merged them into a poem of our own - even my title was a title!]

Out of the blue,
The red planet burns the sky
A matte charcoal.
The moment filters into memory
With a brief history of the senses,
Lasting all the livelong night.
And you find it again
At dawn, in a routine sigh.
The kiss not given
Wanders through you forever.

    Congrats, that's an excellent merging :)
    question: were entire lines titles (ie: was "With a brief history of the senses" a title all on its own, or was it 2 or three titles combined?)

    This is so good. You should enter contests. If I was a judge you would win.

    Seems like a lot of work, but I definitely like the finished product!
