I’ve loved trying the CPC “Pick-Aparts” for such a long time now.

Thanks to Darrell Shepherd for sharing his poetry with us this month.

The idea is to select 25 words from the pieces posted

in the challenge (link posted below)

and to write new pieces using those 25 words

(tenses and forms of the words may be changed

and words may be used more than once,

so the pieces may be longer than 25 words).

Always such a lot of fun to try them.

NOTES FROM MY HEART

The notes I play,
rhythms from my heart,
the light and the dark
carry me away
to that place
of love shared,
dreams and memories
always and forever
held close.

William Tolliver’s “Transcendent of the Blues”

BLUES AND BROKEN

The notes I play,
blues and broken
and so very torn apart,
songs of sadness,
songs of light and dark,
songs of love,
songs of yearning,
this music of my soul,
shared in notes
and memories,
dreaming forever
and dreaming
forever blues.
