<\/p>\n

Welcome to the February 2014 Edition of Pick-Apart Poetry
\n as we celebrate the final days of this year’s “Month of Love”
\n with one of the most well-known love poems ever written.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

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

Quoted again and again throughout history,
\n Christopher Marlowe wrote this poetic treasure in 1598.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

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

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

The idea of Pick-Apart Poetry is to select 25 words
\n from the pieces posted and create poetry of our own.\u00a0
\n The words chosen may be used more than once
\n and tenses and forms may be changed.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

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

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

Please select your 25 words from Christopher Marlowe’s
\n THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD TO HIS LOVE and create
\n a new piece using those 25 words.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n


\n THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD TO HIS LOVE
\n <\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Come live with me and be my love,
\n And we will all the pleasures prove
\n That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
\n Woods or steepy mountain yields.<\/p>\n

And we will sit upon the rocks,
\n Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
\n By shallow rivers to whose falls
\n Melodious birds sing madrigals.<\/p>\n

And I will make thee beds of roses
\n And a thousand fragrant posies,
\n A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
\n Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;<\/p>\n

A gown made of the finest wool
\n Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
\n Fair lined slippers for the cold,
\n With buckles of the purest gold;<\/p>\n

A belt of straw and ivy buds,
\n With coral clasps and amber studs:
\n And if these pleasures may thee move,
\n Come live with me and be my love.<\/p>\n

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

The shepherds\u2019 swains shall dance and sing
\n For thy delight each May morning:
\n If these delights thy mind may move,
\n Then live with me and be my love.
\n <\/em>
\n <\/font><\/p>\n


\n ****************<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

And while this poem features a love theme,\u00a0
\n the poetry we bring back to share isn’t limited
\n to any specific theme or tenor or style. <\/font><\/p>\n

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


<\/p>\n

We welcome all poetry and all styles.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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


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


<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’re so glad you’ve joined us to celebrate the Month of Love in a Pick-Apart way.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking forward to what we all create.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/p>\n
