This month's Poetry Prompt is the Two Objects Poem.
Here's what you do:
Choose two, unlike, randomly selected objects. It can be anything. Two objects from nature, two manmade objects, one manmade, one natural - your choice. Then, write a descriptive poem (non-narrative, don't tell a story) intertwining the characteristics of both objects. The idea is basically to get you writing, but you never know what it will develop into.
Here is one of mine:
Palm and Eagle
The palm trees' feathers
are an emerald spread,
the eagle leaves
coconuts in its span.
The beaks of the palm
jut brown shadows
that canopy the fronds
of bird's limbs.
When winds flutter the jade
plumes of palm wings,
the eagle stretches
her brown foliage to flee.
-Andrea Jazwiecki 2005
