~I wrote this on one of those magnetic poem boards.. it might be kinda confusing but I tried~
Whispers of sad drops cold all over me
lost in a deep empty feeling
I am one star far from its sky
I soar to a stormy sea wild with lies
Tired wind, Breathless waves
A sudden chill swallows my heart
As I surrender to its deep red rain

Very cool poem in tiles. I don't see where you were stifled at all.

Don't tell me that you just tossed them all at the board, and this is what happened.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Hi, Allie. Here's two I did last year. I'd almost forgotten them!

i. my deep
petals, sea-black water.
blood roses & still roads.
recall the leaves, my head.

go. go above.
do as i do.
no less from use.

up. up and there.
like some mean it
(but none like her).

ii. edible
season honeybutter skin.
swallow peppersmoke stew.
savor ice cream cake.
flavor sour sauce bake.
spice bread oil brew whisk.
fold the light and my wish.

They took forever. I know exactly where you're coming from.

"I am one star far from its sky..."

This one line speaks volumes!

I love those things...I play with 'em when I'm in a writing rut--it forces the mind to think in different ways, and just the constraint of limited words frees up the mind to stretch in the NEXT poem...and back to the "feature presentation" I think you did an excellent job of layering these images to express an emotion of wistful longing and loneliness...beautiful!
