dark night

I used Nicole’s (Raven’s Wing Poetry) poem, after finishing mine and reading hers, I rather much like her version better than mine

it was harder to fill in the lines, I did not add extra but fill in the exact needed amount of words

it was constricting but I find it a good challenge, good writing exercise

So it was an interesting exercise, but I proved myself unable to color within the lines once again. :( This makes me a bit of a hypocrite, since several of you used my own skeleton above.

Honestly, I found myself picking out a skeletal outfit from the closet and trying to find out which would "fit" me, that is, which poem would closely resemble my writing style. So, here I was trying on a few other outfits and getting frustrated because I couldn't finish them (I did all of this before I tried Dave's skeleton)! But through it all, I thought it was a WORTHWHILE (and I do mean worthwhile!) challenge/experience as it becomes a tool to try to not only explore other poets' writing styles but also an exercise to explore other forms of poetry, which I'm willing to do because I'm primarily a free-verse kind of poet. Anyway, I enjoyed this week's prompt! :) I used Dave’s skeleton:

It was a great experience and what is amazing is that just by following his bare bone form closely I ended with a very similar bare bone concept. The images are quite different of course and while Dave was a tree I was a gambler, but discovering the close relationship between form and concept in poetry(duh!) was amazing. Here is mine:
