An invite to all poets, writers, ranters and philosophers:
I have joined in with several great poems challenges on other bloggers’ sites, so I thought I’d reach out and invite poets, philosophers, and wordsmiths to join in with one myself.
The idea is for everyone who wants to, to contribute a 3 to 6 line verse and create something amazing together. We’ll create a collective/collaborative poem from our individual voices. So, here are the guidelines:
- one verse per person only please, of between 3 and 8 lines each
- the first line must include the phrase ‘the weight of absence’
- the last word must be ‘absence’
- the rhyme scheme can be either ababa… aababa or abcabca or a variation
- use as many or few syllables as you like per line (within reason, obviously)
- be true to your own voice while listening to other voices
- post your verse in the comment section, I’ll add it to the main text later…
