Happy New Year 2018!
So this is the first challenge of the new year and the site (https://yeahwrite.me/) has made a few changes to the weekly challenges. :)
For the poetry challenge, we have to write an Erasure Poem and let me tell you, it is fun.
I took a page from PG Wodehouse's Damsel In Distress book and made a poem out of it.

A City Morning
Singing canaries were out,
cats washed themselves on doorsteps,
waiters peered from the windows,
the sun shone with a genial smile.
Guardian of the stage door,
emerged from the glass case
to observe life,
with an indulgent eye.
His job was a permanent one,
he felt nevertheless, a proprietary interest.
When a musical piece made a big hit,
he had a warm regard for the composer.
That was creative! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Prakash. :)
DeleteWow, that worked out very well! You pulled an amazing poem out of that page. I have never tried this before, but thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. :)
DeleteOn a cold day like this one here, your city morning sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteWell done for tackling an erasure poem! They're such fun, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) Oh yes! I totally enjoyed get this out.
DeleteWell done extracting a story poem from the original text. Not easy, I bet, but certainly fun! :D Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) Yes, it was fun. Not easy, but not hard either.
DeleteNice job. It made me long for spring since I'm in the middle of a winter blizzard!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) Ahh.. It's cold for us and well, but is round the corner.
Delete"Emerged from the glass case" was an interesting image.
ReplyDeleteNeither was I, but I totally loved the concept and am willing to try it again. :)
