Here is a new piece I wrote for a prompt at Carry On Tuesday, a site where I haven’t contributed for a long time. The other poems I have written after Keith’s prompts can be found here, here and here. Enjoy!
Carry On Tuesday #204
If you would like to read the original poem: Come With Me, I Said And No One Knew (VII) by Pablo Neruda, click here!
Come with me, I said,
as if to no one
The breeze alone would
whistle soft by me.
Come with me, I whispered
in detachment.
I’m going home, I thought
alone if that’s to be.
Alone, in that bright day
in sunny August
the afternoon of tall grass
and blue skies
That hushed wheat field endured
only
the hum of bumblebees and
orange tint of peace.
Come with me, as I stroll lonely
into a fairy tale
I saw through my closing lashes
before I let myself
into the heavy honey of
summer nap.
