A Comfy Kind Of Restless

Hello!

It’s the last day of NaPoWriMo 2022 today, and Maureen asked us all to construct a Cento as our final piece!

“This is a poem that is made up of lines taken from other poems.” [From:  https://www.napowrimo.net/day-thirty-8/]

So I grabbed a few poetry titles from my shelves and got to work:

That would faze all but the most intrepid:

Who gives her soul an empty room

As thick with mould as glass?

She walked to the music of her own mind’s making,

Skeletons of honesty now give way to seedlings;

A woman giving birth to herself.

Lines plucked from:

1. Edwin Morgan: A Voyage

2. Leonard Cohen: Death of a Lady’s Man

3. Anne MacLeod: In the Kibble Palace: Sunday Morning

4. Alice V Stuart: Rencontre

5. Kate Y A Bone: Skeletons of Honesty

6. Liz Lochhead: Mirror’s Song

Books consulted for these lines:

Modern Scottish Women Poets – edited and introduced by Dorothy McMillan and Michael Byrne  

The Song Of Leonard Cohen by Harry Rasky

Virtual and Other Realities by Edwin Morgan

Thank you, as always, for dropping by and reading my month of poetic ponderings. Judging by other years, I will probably pack up my scribbles and wander into the sunset til April 2023 now, but one never knows 😉 please consider subscribing to my blog if you’ve been enjoying it, and when the notion does take me to post again you will be one of the first to know!

Take care, big hugs to all, and I’ll maybe catch you later!
