Off-Kilter #concretepoetry #dVerse #XplorationChallenge #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

 


Hello, beautiful readers! Today, I am combining two prompts. The first one comes from Reena's Xploration Challenge #381 where Reena shares two images and invites us to use it as inspiration for our writing. I used the image below.

The second prompt is from dVerse's Meet the bar with concrete and shape poetry prompt where Bjorn invites us to have fun with the shape of the words in our poem by using concrete poetry, which focuses on the way words and letters look as much as the meaning. Because I used WordArt, I took a picture of my poem so it would appear correctly here.

  8. Like a roller coaster - cleverly done, and the abundance of emotion can be scary...
