I'm just back from a glorious few days with loved ones at the beach. We also visited Bamahenge, a partial full-size replica of Stonehenge in Elberta, Alabama. Cool! Also, new life goal: create something funky and cool and worthy of Atlas Obscura notice. :)
This weeks ArtSpeak: PICASSO features another of his b&w line drawings. I decided to write a trinet. Another resource I visited while writing this poem include this list of movement words...though I ended up using the element of repetition instead!
The poem is titled " A Dream of Rabbits." I've written a few other animal-dream poems:
A Dream of SheepWhat Tiger Dreams
Dream with Three Hearts
I Dream of Roosters
And now for the new one. Thank you so much for reading!
A Dream of Rabbits
by Irene Latham
Rabbits dance
by starlight—
Are they leaping for the Moon,
or kissing the Earth? I'd like
to be
a rabbit
dancing, dancing.
Irene -- such delight in squiggled lines unleashed. Yes, I imagine rabbits secretly enjoy dancing beneath stars when no one is looking. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your “A Dream of …” series, Irene. What a great way to access the flights of fancy of a character!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at Highlights! I wish I could join you there!
Yes to rabbits dancing, dancing! When I was younger, I pictured rabbits as being shy and easily frightened, but the ones who live near me are daring and seem to find us merely interruptions in their (dancing?) activities. xo
ReplyDeleteLove your dancing rabbits, Irene! The rhythm created in the trinet is like music.
