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.
DeleteI wasn't particularly familiar with erasure poetry before this week and am really enjoying the creative things folks are doing with it. Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteNeither was I, but I totally loved the concept and am willing to try it again. :)
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.
