Welcome to the January 2014 Edition<\/font><\/div>\n
of PICK-APART POETRY<\/font><\/div>\n
where we have fun each month<\/font><\/div>\n
sharing our words and our friendship<\/font><\/div>\n
in a “pick-apart-poetry” kind of way.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
\"<\/font><\/div>\n
With the Sochi Winter Olympics<\/font><\/div>\n
just around the corner,<\/font><\/div>\n
this month we celebrate<\/font><\/div>\n
our favorite winter sports<\/font><\/div>\n
and activities.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
Please select 25 words<\/font><\/div>\n
from Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Winter-Time”<\/font><\/div>\n
and create a new piece using those 25 words<\/font><\/div>\n
plus your favorite winter activity(ies),<\/font><\/div>\n
if your piece moves in that direction.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
WINTER-TIME<\/font><\/strong><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/strong><\/div>\n
Late lies the wintry sun a-bed, <\/font><\/div>\n
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head; <\/font><\/div>\n
Blinks but an hour or two; and then, <\/font><\/div>\n
A blood-red orange, sets again. <\/font><\/div>\n
Before the stars have left the skies, <\/font><\/div>\n
At morning in the dark I rise; <\/font><\/div>\n
And shivering in my nakedness, <\/font><\/div>\n
By the cold candle, bathe and dress. <\/font><\/div>\n
Close by the jolly fire I sit To<\/font><\/div>\n
warm my frozen bones a bit; <\/font><\/div>\n
Or with a reindeer-sled, explore <\/font><\/div>\n
The colder countries round the door. <\/font><\/div>\n
When to go out, my nurse doth wrap <\/font><\/div>\n
Me in my comforter and cap; <\/font><\/div>\n
The cold wind burns my face, and blows <\/font><\/div>\n
Its frosty pepper up my nose. <\/font><\/div>\n
Black are my steps on silver sod; <\/font><\/div>\n
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad; <\/font><\/div>\n
And tree and house, and hill and lake, <\/font><\/div>\n
Are frosted like a wedding cake.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
\"<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
Remember that the words<\/font><\/div>\n
may be repeated<\/font><\/div>\n
and the forms and tenses<\/font><\/div>\n
changed to suit your fancy.<\/font><\/div>\n


<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
And even though this month’s theme<\/font><\/div>\n
is a wintery one, <\/font><\/div>\n
your poem doesn’t have to be.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
Welcoming all themes and styles,<\/font><\/div>\n
our goal is creativity and fun.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
We look forward to what we create<\/font><\/div>\n
and bring back to share with one another.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
Happy Writing!<\/font><\/div>\n

\n <\/font><\/div>\n
