poetry meme thinger.

[witchscauldron]

This is something I'm doing to keep myself a-muse-d. I need the push to create something. It's not exactly original poetry, but doing this little exercise sometimes gets my brain moving. I started doing this this morning, and then thought it might make a meme, if people wanted to take the time and try it.

Here's the deal:
Put 20 or fewer songs (no instrumentals) on your music player that reflect your current mood/state of mind. Get the lyrics for each song (online, album liner, whatever) and pick at most four lines from each song. You can choose what lines appeals to you, or at random. (At random makes it more interesting.) Take all of the lines you've chosen, and compose a poem from them. You can post the songs if you want, but I think it's more fun to let people try to figure out what you were using.



as years unfurl
all the nights are woven
every night i fall again
between dream and duty
there's a presence here no-one denies

she called out a warning
not without thinking
i can hear the same voice calling
your heart pounding in my head
the blood keeps calling out my name

i sing through the land, the land sings through me
and you will never break me
eyes are running wild
feel the wind pass through my body
wolf is always at the door

this place is so quiet, sensing that storm
over water meadow streams
tousled bird mad girl
makes these dark clouds
just in time to see it all come down

when you dig my grave
of ugliness and emptiness
be otherworldly
tragic visions stole my life
the end is all that's ever true.


Moving onwards...
