Improvisation #1

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)
I wrote this in about 15 minutes, trying to regain some of my lyrical powers from my younger years. Please tell me if it speaks to you in any way. If you challenge me enough, I might do more ;)

Scattered shards of stained-glass windows

Scratch a sun-scorched graveyard,

Spitting scarlet to the rooftops,

[New stanza]

Screaming ochre and rose,

Singing like a slit-throat bard,

"The sublime never stops!"

Honestly, I'm still trying to get what you're writing about...... What are you saying? But from one poet to another......😊

"If I could have said it better, I would have" :D

Good stuff. I'm also trying to find my way back into writing poetry after a long break. Short form seems to be the way to go.

I guess there are different ways to do it, but when I was younger, I would take one image (a string of words that I liked together) and build off it. Seems to still work, though I'm not sure my ideas are as stark as they used to be.

It looks like we have a new poet on the block. Welcome my friend I am so glad that you decided to start it up again. !!! :) Can't wait until you get back to our old years form :)

Thanks, but it will take some doing :D

Thanks, what are the investments/payoffs? <100% or >250%?

No investments the scheme will probably be if there is any everyone from the group donates 0,33 Steem and you get 0.20 votes on your poems that you submit but there will be 9 poems per day .. upvoted... that is what I have come up to... by now but for now first month is on me enjoy :P I got no return except my poems that I will upvote in the daily dose.... and the daily dose itself ...

So, the donation is not an investment?

Well it is sort of as you will have a better return. But there is a reason to call it Donation... Just I cannot promise any fixed returns at the moment until I see how things go. At the moment all will because of the courtesy of @angelveselinov who will probably continue to support my power no matter what. If community members what higher votes from me they can donate more SP to me and gain even more from my votes as more SP will be lend by me with it...

Ok, so back to the question, then. What kind of return is being offered for a donation?

Well it depends if you write poems every day every day 0.20 cents vote make 30 x 0.2 = 6 * 40% SBD 2,5 SBD reward how that sounds ?

you got up voted at 48% by @hamza-arshad
