#NaPoWriMo: A Poem A Day – Day 30
Hi everyone! Today is day Thirty of the national poetry month competition and the final day!
Here’s my offering >>>
DAY THIRTY:
[Instructions:] From NaPoWriMo Day Thirty … Write a Cento. A Cento is a poem that is made up of lines taken from other poems.
Love Sublime
If ever two were one, then surely we
I do forgive thy robb’ry, gentle thief
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
My heart has left it’s dwelling place
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun
Struck dumb I was
After all, there’s no need to say anything
For verily love knows not ‘mine’ or ‘thine’
I thank you, kind and best beloved friend
Today’s poetic prompt is perfect for me to choose from among some of the great love poets on the weekend of my 3rd wedding anniversary. I hope you enjoyed what I cobbled together. Here are the poets I borrowed from …
To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet
Sonnet 40 by William Shakespeare
Song: To Celia by Ben Johnson
First Love by John Clare
A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
Struck Dumb by Sunday Yemi Akinbamido
Flirtation by Rita Dove
I loved you first: but afterwards your love by Christina Rossetti
Sonnet: I Thank You by Henry Timrod
