I’ve loved trying the CPC “Pick-Aparts” for such a long time now. <\/font><\/p>\n

Thanks to Darrell Shepherd for sharing his poetry with us this month.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

\n

The idea is to select 25 words from the pieces posted <\/font><\/p>\n

in the challenge (link posted below) <\/font><\/p>\n

and to write new pieces using those 25 words <\/font><\/p>\n

(tenses and forms of the words may be changed <\/font><\/p>\n

and words may be used more than once, <\/font><\/p>\n

so the pieces may be longer than 25 words).<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Always such a lot of fun to try them.

The notes I play,

The notes I play,
\nblues and broken
\nand so very torn apart,
\nsongs of sadness,
\nsongs of light and dark,
\nsongs of love,
\nsongs of yearning,
\nthis music of my soul,
\nshared in notes
\nand memories,
\ndreaming forever
\nand dreaming
\nforever blues.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
