Forest Chant
I, elaborate forest, chant
like honey, ask— still the skin
Elaborate petals spring-
luscious, rain-languid, sing
about rust & apparatus
Watch purple honey running
over a lazy day moon
The moon is like honey on
an enormous lazy dream
She rose, delirious and death
singing sweetly. Pink moon petal
on the rock after a lovely rain
Dreaming of a delirious death by milk
chocolate, sweetest sleep
Original prompt: Go to the virtual “Magnetic Poetry” and write a line of poems drawn only from the words there, about ten words.
