prompt for yesterday’s freewrite especially interesting. It was “a creature of absolute convictions”, and while I had a few ideas on where to go with it, I quickly settled on the first line of a poem and it took off from there:I wasn’t able to write this yesterday, but I found @mariannewest’s
Creatures dark and creatures cold,
Creatures light and creatures warm,
Found in tales both young and old.
They trick and slink and slither,
Or trust and stride, deliver.
Going forth, convictions strong,
Goals quite clear, and absolute,
Kindred words can do no wrong.
But darkness comes, as does light,
To play their parts against the night.
I felt loosely inspired by Book One of Paradise Lost by Edmund Spenser for this. I remember that it played with the ideas of good and evil, and explored characters who were usually thought of as being purely heroic or purely villainous.
Anyway, I think I want to expand this into a longer poem sometime, but for today’s freewrite these will have to do. It ended up taking about ten minutes since I had to think of rhymes and count syllables.
Like the last freewrite, I’ve never really shared my poems, especially quickly written ones like this, so feedback is appreciated 😊
I'm so happy you shared it! Paradise isn't lost, I've found it in your poem.
💖 aww thank you! 😊
