Verse Us – Spring – A Composite Poem
Verse Us - Poems I write: haiku, senryu, mesostics, free verse, random word constructions, I might even use rhyme or meter once and a while.
Stand forth
sweet sleeping flowers.
First hours waiting like a child, then leaping.
Hands, eyes, spirit climb
Swift veins carry young love.
Much comes;
sky, clouds, stars, grass, everything.
Whoever is searching,
go deep.
Prowl soil and clay.
Look, sniff, bring ear and mind
Come boy, outside.
Twilight’s flickering flames.
Feel the wild lilies dream quiet.
April carefully kisses
our emerald, blue earth.
This composite poem was constructed using the text of several poems on spring (listed below). I used Wordle to select out the most frequently used words in the poems. From these words I built this poem.
