For dVerse Form for All: The Hidden Poetry in Books. I went a totally different way with this than
I thought I would. It’s more of a list type
of poem, but it’s where my muse lead.
Books are from our
family library: The Red Pony by John
Steinbeck, The Hunt for Red October and Red Rabbit by Tom Clancy, The Red
Pyramid by Rick Riordan, Redwall by Brian Jacques, Where the Red Fern Grows by
Wilson Rawls, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane and The Signature of
Jesus by Brennan Manning.
(In memory of Tom Clancy,
Apr.12, 1947 - Oct. 1, 2013. R.I.P.)
Great job baby - what a thought provoking poem, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite fascinating...with all of the 'red' titles!
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I'm impressed with all the red. I like the title and the complementing (black&white) photo.
ReplyDeleteI love this one. And I happen to be wearing red today. :) Peace, Linda
ReplyDeleteWow!! Small poems yet too powerful and chosen!
ReplyDeleteOh..quite an interesting way to lead your muse..good one :)
ReplyDeleteoh wow... all the red and then the blood of christ in the last line...this is amazing..
ReplyDeleteThis totally rocks! I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeletewell done.. that was nicely thought out...
ReplyDeleteoh really cool build in this...building the reds that lead up to jesus' sacrifice...that is awesome...well played....
ReplyDeletegreat thinking... and what a bunch of titles with red..
ReplyDeleteOh, very cool!
ReplyDeleteColour-coded in black and white: very refreshing with a coup de grace.
ReplyDeleteStunning - that close is perfect at the end of this list poem.
ReplyDeleteI too like all the red titles ~ But the last verse is perfect ~
ReplyDeleteVery creative. And I love the photo too. You did surprise me with the last line!
ReplyDeletePowerful last verse to sum it all!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting build from pony to Jesus! I started thinking of other "Red" books from my shelves, and only added "The Red Tent."
ReplyDeleteI love how red cascaded in your poem to the glorious end! Bravo Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteSuch a strong, creative write and your close is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely wonderful! That ending title is the clencher. I really like that the pic's in black and white, too.
ReplyDeleteI loved this and I especially loved the ending. Wow.
ReplyDeleteSimply powerful!
ReplyDeleteThat is really good - the contrast between all the other reds and the final line makes the ending particularly powerful.
ReplyDeleteA just tribute to Tom Clancy. He leaves behind a vacant patch. The contrast between Steinbeck and Clancy is amusing. Happy that you spent time thinking about the great ones.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
ReplyDeleteand the band Simply Red, and the song Red Red Wine.... thoughtful assemblage, Jennifer
ReplyDeletethe red theme is compelling and your closure is terrific! love this.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteVery fun!!!
ReplyDeleteRed! It is a color which evokes a wide range of emotion... Nice
