Through dogwood trees in the twilight walking,
I am taking my sweet time
and as the light begins to shift...
we are air and memoirs-
we are magic in the moment-
and I swear that this world has never been brighter.
You made me paper cranes
with drunken precision
and that was all that really mattered.
You rattle my walls and shake my bones.
You are Neptune.
I hold my breath, but you keep breathing.
Sometimes I feel the wind is a presence-
it keeps us connected.
Us two, a couplet, sweet rhythm and rhyme,
and vibrant blues.
Your eyes are lockets
of love and affection.

Directionality
I kiss the forehead of another dream,
cast away for different lives--
all my fields of green
seen through shutters
of different lenses, different eyes
that belong to me a half-step left
of the one I stand mirroring today.These reveries--
revered to me;
refused of me,
refused by me.
Reflections of things
confused with me,
things yet to be seen.When I die,
will I look back at trails I've cast,
branching worn, winding over grass,
a tree of life carved in the earth
by my unknowing feet?Even better,
can I linger
over every second maybe,
reveal lives all hidden to me as I rise,
rise past the sum of every choice
and every right-hand turn
that led...

ProjectDFC: May Mixup Madness 2019
Hello everyone!OneWithTheStars here and welcome to ProjectDFC's 2019 installment of May Mixup Madness!
MAY MIXUP MADNESS (MMM)
We love to mix it up a little (or perhaps a lot) here at ProjectDFC. May is the designated month where we get to mix it up with inspiration from another's works! Borrowing just might be what all those that participated in NaPoWriMo need after the daily poetry writing for a month.
What we do for this month is follow a specific poetic structure called the Cento. The Cento is a form that is essentially borrowed. The goal is to take lines/lyrics from the poetry/songs of another and reconstruct them into an order to create a whole new poem or song.
Step 1
CHOOSE YOUR INSPIRATION: Pick a single lyricist (music artist, musician, or group band) or poet (famous or DA friend) to use their wor
