a kind of canto |
the echoing tip
the wood-ash stars
spread wide
touching from a distance
red earth and pouring rain
nausea the wall and other stories
crossing the water
burning your boats
on the road
all points north
in the company
of crows and ravens

Hey! Are you looking into the future and seeing my next Form For All article on spine poems? ;-)
This is actually a very specific way of putting together a cento, and works amazingly well. Great job, and loved the picture too!
what a unique take on this prompt - I've never seen anything like it and quite like it ... very well done

As a bibliophile I had to tear my eyes away from the photo then happily learned that was the point. Awesome.
You are one heck of a writer!
