Welcome to the November Edition of Pick-Apart Poetry <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

as we look forward to December and the Holidays <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

and a brand new year coming up so very soon.<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

We’re so glad you’ve joined us in celebrating <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

this wonderful time of year in a Pick-Apart way.<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The idea of Pick-Apart Poetry is to select 25 words <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

from the pieces posted and create poetry of our own. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The words chosen may be used more than once <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

and tenses and forms may be changed.<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

So your poem may have many more than 25 words. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Please select your 25 words from the following pieces:<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Approach of Winter<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

by William Carlos Williams <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The half-stripped trees
\nstruck by a wind together,
\nbending all,
\nthe leaves flutter drily
\nand refuse to let go
\nor driven like hail
\nstream bitterly out to one side
\nand fall
\nwhere the salvias, hard carmine,\u2014
\nlike no leaf that ever was\u2014
\nedge the bare garden.<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

PICTURE-BOOKS IN WINTER<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

by Robert Louis Stevenson <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

Summer fading, winter comes\u2014
\nFrosty mornings, tingling thumbs
\nWindow robins, winter rooks,
\nAnd the picture story-books.<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Water now is turned to stone
\nNurse and I can walk upon;
\nStill we find the flowing brooks
\nIn the picture story-books. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

All the pretty things put by,
\nWait upon the children’s eye,
\nSheep and shepherds, trees and crooks,
\nIn the picture story-books. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We may see how all things are,
\nSeas and cities, near and far,
\nAnd the flying fairies’ looks,
\nIn the picture story-books. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How am I to sing your praise,
\nHappy chimney-corner days,
\nSitting safe in nursery nooks,
\nReading picture story-books?<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850\u20131894).
\nA Child\u2019s Garden of Verses and Underwoods. 1913.<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While these are rather wintery pieces, <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

the poetry we bring back to share <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

isn’t limited to any specific theme. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We welcome any topic you choose. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our goal is to simply have fun and be creative. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s always a joy to be here each month with you. <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking forward to what we all create and share
\n<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
