These first three poems are a short series in response to ElzuWolfe’s series Blue Sky Drowning: http://www.protagonize.com/story/lue-ky-rowning

Our Christening

Powdered snow hides a mountain of
the best things imaginable.
    Hugs.
        Healings.
    Laughters.
I want to start here
though fear I won’t end here.
No, not here.

I scribbled our names on the corner of this map
And watched as the painted ships sailed around them.
And dreamed as I slept with complete rest.

Author guidance for This poem

This story is a place for you to post poems that you have written in response to poems by other authors on protagonize.

Now, there is no precise definition of 'response poem'--- it can be whatever you make it. They could be like the things you wanted to say, but couldn't phrase as comments, or they could be exploring the same themes as the poem you are responding to, or maybe they are written in a similar style.

You can also choose to write a series of poems--or just one.

So, here's how it works. Just post your poems, and introduce them with a comment that includes the name of the author and poem you are responding too, and the url of that poem--so that the reader can go see what you are responding to.


If poetry is a form of communication—let’s communicate! Feel free to join in the conversation.

No mature--thanks,
Fogs

p.s. these poems are not particularly seeking ratings, but would be happy if you maybe left a comment--or, even better--left a poem!
