Sorry, I only had time for one poem so I included all the phrases.



I am a wanton, winsome sprite
My goddess calls and I comply
Whispers in the dark of night
With wild abandon now I fly
In the moonlight shadows dancing
Glistening gleaming shadows prancing

This is my house of passage here
In shadows call of sure delight
Goddess path trod by the lone seer
The holy one who seeks in flight
Mystic moons guide my way onward
In memories my presence forward

Identity has not my name
Lost in the shadows of my dreams
Within this tender loving flame
The rose of rapture casts its beams
In the moonlight goddess dancing
With wanton sprite in joyful prancing





Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen.

Kethry dear heart, what was the challenge? And it obviously wasn't hard enough.
I'll find something hard really hard!

Love it dear heart, okay I know you can do Paradella do do don'ts and senryu and hakiu thingies, any combination of rhyme, sonnets and songs. I know you do prose, do me a Limerick, and no rude ones, or an epitaph. No both, Keth, make it a limerick epitaph!

Limerick

There once was a girl from Devon
Who said I'll not get to heaven
I might have just made it though
But my behaviour has been a bit blue
The vicar was truly shocked I hear
When I said that I'm not good I fear
He asked me why I thought this
I said I enjoyed more than a kiss
He said well that's not too bad
Ahh I replied but not when I've had
The verger and the choir of seven
That naughty young lady from Devon

Right you Missy get working before I get the whips out.
Take care love as always
Slushy





Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

Marsha If I can string together a few phrases and call it poetry what makes you think I'd be afraid to write epitaph limericks although dear hear I believe you may have mixed your metaphors.
tis done, I was supposed to be working >

Kethry dear heart

It was supposed to be hard

not so easy you could do it in your sleep!

Oh! right I'll have another think. And this is beauty love, but that is neither here nor there, work she says! Huh! work, I'm the one that mutters around here, you!

Now let me think hard! And while I'm thinking
just do some more Sister Moon poems!
Love it dear heart as always
Take care

Thank you Marsha,
This challenge was phrases given to Poet De Vine, in the challenge forum. She used one phrase one poem, but I'm much too lazy for that so I added them all into one poem.
yes the limerick was easy, I did it in my sleep.

You tied the package of these phrases together quite well and presented us with a very wonderful read of yours. I do so enjoy the unique quality of your talent and your capability of conquering challenges with such a flair. Beautiful read this morning in this one.

Nothing more that I can add...I agree with all the replies, this is simply amazing! I think it's much more difficult to write a poem including ALL the challenge lines! Great job!

Thanks everyone,
To describe this would be like threading beads, it was more a matter of choosing the right phrase (Color) and then placing it with complimentary phrases (different coloured beads) and tying it together with a theme (srting) once the trheme was done the rest was easy. And if you read it fast enough it almost makes sense *SMiLeS*
be well, forthtell
