Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

ME:

No idea...

I did write something last night although it isn't a keeper. Might be able to use part of the idea though.

We did a poetry/art session. Wrote secret messages in white crayon then revealed them with water colors.. Works well, except you can't see what you just wrote! And revision? Forget that.

It's hard to exactly explain what I did... I folded one piece of paper over mid way. wrote across it then opened the paper using the what was already writing on the left side to write something else on the right.

Like:

A B
- C
D E
F GH
I J
- K
L

and then:

A N
- M
D O
F
I P
- QR
L

When the paper is folded one only sees the top part.

Of course I put it on a wider paper that I had written on down the middle, so:

T
U
V
W
X
Y
Z

would also be hidden unless one lifted the top paper. Follow this?

Anyhoo... I attached the two papers with a necklace of beads and a flat ring.

Everything was brushed over with watercolors...

I'll use the idea to work on a new one that's well thought out. "Moon reflected in the tiger's eye" will be my prompt. The one dangling bauble looks like a moon and I have a necklace of tiger's eye beads I haven't done anything with...

So, a new rough draft:


"Moon reflected in a tiger's eye"



You              sing

                     as the night 

falls              as the

twilight         lingers

as                 the Moon 

out                shines

                      your fading

voice. 



You              look into your

                     mirror. A tear

falls              in the

twilight  

as                 deep thoughts

out               weigh

                     your trembling

voice.



       How the 

       night

       blooms,

       the

       Moon

       reflected       

       in the 

       tiger's eye.
