Read Write Poetry Prompt #41 Get Your Poem On

I just stumbled across a website filled with coolness… and poetry. :) Check out www.readwritepoem.org. They had a prompt where you took the "bare bones" of someone else's poems and basically fill in the blanks. I used Annamari's "bare bones" and tweaked it a little, but thought that it was a lot of fun to play with. I didn't read her version first, but after I did, I felt totally inadequate. :)

Untitled

Your fingers slide my patience
somewhere between aside and blind,

stop to fiddle in the middle.
"I aim to tease."

To please. To pluck
chords in harmonious ratio

of sunshine days vs. long strong
night songs sung by skin-stung

lips glistening for the moon.
You kissed my falling star

out of the black night fabric of
desire - worn thin at the end

of the giving season. Breaking
point: your wish not frayed

but granted. Trace slow sky lines,
another slide. The end. Sigh.
Patience again, patience.
