Poem Chain #1

Margaret and I decided to try something different and created a chain of poetry. We decided to see what we would come up with if one of us wrote a poem and then the other wrote what poetry that might inspire in us. Then the other would do so – and-so-on…

Since it was my idea I wrote the first idea. We decided I might start with a poem inspired by a “colour”. Perhaps because I am rather taken with starting the day with a Haiku I instinctively wrote a Haiku and started with my poem “Green, Life in the Raw”.

This led to this 10 poem chain:

1. Green, Life in the Raw –  DWPenner
2. Raw – magsalden
3. Heart Fires –  DWPenner
4. Passion Bleeds – magsalden
5. Vanilla Plane –  DWPenner
6. Tinge – magsalden
7. Angels Winging From Earth to Sky –  DWPenner
8. Not Forgotten – magsalden
9. Flowers Wave –  DWPenner
10. Prosperity Rain – magsalden

We each have our own style and so the poems while inspired by each other are very different from each other and cover a broad spectrum of topics.

I hope you enjoy this project. We plan to do it again some time in the future.
