Stranded Thoughts – One Single Impression (multiplied)

Posted by MeeAugraphie
Apr 06 2008

One Single Impression left us stranded this week – not. I have a feeling there will be many stranded thoughts evoked. Mine were:

Haiku:

Stranded whale flounders
turtle seeks destruction’s light
human plays hero

Fib:

She
stood,
unable
to remain stranded
by own stubborn streak’s closed mind.

Increasing Syllables, One thru seven:

Left
Stranded
by her muse
she looked at nature
through her inner child’s eyes
and found seven wonders more.

Acronym

Stuck alone in mind’s island,
Traffic stalled
Refuse blocks thought’s forming as
Acrid tears flow unchecked
No one to hear your
Darkness falling as
Escalated fears
Defy logical plan of action

Un-punctuated Thought

Night closed in to smother hope as moon hid behind clouds and owls hooted to break silence’s stranglehold on nerves for needle read as empty as stomach as empty as a heart never filled as empty as the road to nowhere in a Saturday night flick watched sans another human being on a teenager’s prom night

  5. It took me hours to compose one simple poem. I can’t imagine being able to do the wonderful things with words that you do. I love the increasing syllables poem because she found seven wonders more.

    Innovative response to the OSI prompt. I agree that the last prose poem is really a great ride, but all the poems are excellent.

  12. What an intriguing way to explore a thought. I particularly like how this one worked itself through:

    Left
    Stranded
    by her muse
    she looked at nature
    through her inner child’s eyes
    and found seven wonders more.

  13. TeriC says:
