over at Read Write Poem, people came up with some great stanzas.
Here's a poem I made from some of them. Others are in the works.
Office Romance
I move through the world
rough as a rope, taut as all
the promises I’ve ever made.
I lean into you, whisper.
You step out from behind
your executive desk, tell me
I smell like oatmeal
And your mother.
We meet for early lunch amidst
the line of white cheese sandwiches.
I interrupt with a warm bowl
perfuming of foreign lands.
I am what I ham what I eat.
Back in my office I leave the door
open for you to peek
over my shoulder, onto
my multicolored screen.

That's neat that you were able to put together a poem using other poets' stanzas and weave a story. I'm still working on trying to do collaborations. I'm still shy!! lol
Oh, and thank you so much for visiting my poetry journal!!

Wow - it's so great to see the different directions people took these stanzas. I love this one. It's quirky and seductive and certainly reads as a cohesive piece. Awesome.
Yes, a deft use of these lines. You really pull them together and you changed so little -- an amazing job.
Yes, this is amazing, Holly! I love it. I especially love the multicolor screen. Great work!
thank you all!
