alpharaposaToday, I am sending out invitations for a feast of poetry! I have volunteered to cook one dish for each of you. All you have to do is ask.
The rules:
1) Give me ingredients! Either three words for a theme, or a link to an image or video. Please keep words and links PG13.
2) Give me a recipe! Tell me what kind of poem you want. It can be as simple as a rhyming couplet, or as complicated as a sonnet.
3) One per person. Spread the word if you know somebody who would like their own creation!
4) Share! You can reprint or link to the poem, simply give me credit and link to my journal, please.
You can request a sonnet for your favorite lolcat, or a haiku for a sunset. Silly or serious. I promise to do my best.
I'm opening requests now, before I go to work. I won't start making poetry until tonight, when I get home. Please be patient- good food takes time.
Edit: And requests are closed! Thank you for those who commented. I'll be working on your poems in order.

for you...
Date: 2009-08-03 01:43 pm (UTC)They tear the ground as green heads rise.
Their wings unfurl from private lairs.
They're washed by rain, and rainbow smiles
Shine on their hoards, of gold so fair.
Gold fades to white as the children are laid.
They bob and sway to the wind's caress.
More and more grow, until that day
They all take flight, new lands to possess.
Though they are by many abhorred
I love these dragons, and their hoards.
