National Poetry Month – Day 11

Kay in the Kitchen

 

Kay is a Kitchen Queen

feeling  lost at the summit

searching for car keys

knee-deep in a kayak stream

in  southern Ohio.

Kay sips  K-cup coffee

travels  the Keystone  kingdom

her kettle boiling, lost in a Kafka story

wildlife nights of frequent  flying.

Kay is a record-keeper of kites in the wind.

She gathers  blue Kyanite stones.

Knocks them all together.

Keeps  stitching  her quilts

like Kandinsky’s gestural marks.

Gathers mementos for a keepsake necklace

knitting each kindness

like a Keats poem.

–

The end.

This is a FREE-FORM POEM.

I gleaned the lines of this poem by making a list of 22 words that begin with “K”

After that, I made a list beside those 22 words – something that matched each word.

I re-arranged the lines to turn my  list of 44 words into a Free-Form Poem. This is a  method I use a lot in writing my poems.

“Lynda’s Mixed-Salad Poem Form.”

 

 Give it a try an let me know how that works for you!

National Poetry Month – Day 11 – Kay in the Kitchen — 2 Comments

  1. Yummy soul food from your literary kitchen!

    My favorite line is: Kay is a record-keeper of kites in the wind.

    Love what you’ve generously shared this month.

    • Thank you for your comment, Christina.
      I enjoyed writing almost one poem a day during National Poetry Month.
      It kept my focus on getting the work done for the entire month. Now, I am sending out some of these works to publishers. One new poem was just accepted for the Summer edition of_ The Avocet_ A Journal of Nature Poetry. It’s always a “happy Dance-Sort of Day” when one of my writings finds a literary home. Thanks for telling me a line that caught your attention – that helps me know how a reader interprets the poem. Awesome!
