Welcome to the September 2013 Edition of Pick-Apart Poetry <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

where we are this month celebrating <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

the arrival of Autumn here <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

in the Northern Hemisphere.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


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

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

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

It’s such a glorious time of year <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

with vibrant changes in weather patterns <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

and color all around us.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


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


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

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

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

So today we’re celebrating the arrival of Autumn <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

in our own inimitable Pick-Apart Poetry sort of way <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

by selecting 25 words <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

from the autumnal poetic words below <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

and creating a piece <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

or two or three <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

or more of our own.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

THE AUTUMN (1833)<\/strong><\/p>\n


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

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

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

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

Go, sit upon the lofty hill,
\n And turn your eyes around,
\n Where waving woods and waters wild
\n Do hymn an autumn sound.
\n The summer sun is faint on them \u2014
\n The summer flowers depart \u2014
\n Sit still \u2014 as all transform\u2019d to stone,
\n Except your musing heart.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From John Keats’<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

TO AUTUMN (1820)<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


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

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

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

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
\n Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
\n Conspiring with him how to load and bless
\n With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
\n To bend with apples the moss\u2019d cottage-trees,
\n And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
\n To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
\n With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
\n And still more, later flowers for the bees,
\n Until they think warm days will never cease,
\n For Summer has o\u2019er-brimm\u2019d their clammy cells.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

William Blake’s<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

TO AUTUMN (1783)<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


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

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

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

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stain\u2019d
\n With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
\n Beneath my shady roof; there thou may\u2019st rest,
\n And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,
\n And all the daughters of the year shall dance!
\n Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


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

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

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

\u201cThe narrow bud opens her beauties to
\n The sun, and love runs in her thrilling veins;
\n Blossoms hang round the brows of Morning, and
\n Flourish down the bright cheek of modest Eve,
\n Till clust\u2019ring Summer breaks forth into singing,
\n And feather\u2019d clouds strew flowers round her head.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


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

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

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

\u201cThe spirits of the air live in the smells
\n Of fruit; and Joy, with pinions light, roves round
\n The gardens, or sits singing in the trees.\u201d
\n Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat,
\n Then rose, girded himself, and o\u2019er the bleak
\n Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

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

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

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

Just a reminder that the words selected <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

may be used more than once <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

and that their tenses and forms <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

may be changed as often as you wish. <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

Thus . . . . your poem may end up <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

being much longer than 25 words.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even though this month’s “Pick-Apart” is celebrating Autumn, <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

your piece doesn’t have to be about Fall — <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

we welcome all themes and styles. <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

Our only goals are to be creative and to have fun.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

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

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

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

We look forward to our “Pick-Apart” creations.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


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

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

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

It is always a joy to see <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

what each of us can create <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

with only 25 words as a base, <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

keeping in mind that our poems <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

can certainly be more <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

than 25 words in total length.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


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

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

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

Please do spread the word <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

and invite your friends. <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Definitely “the more, the merrier” <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

when it comes to sharing.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
