Remember

our starting point
point of view
view from the top
top of the bill
bill of rights
rights of way
way too complicated
complicated matters
matters over minds
minds unlocked
unlocked secret
secret view
view, hidden
hidden thought
thought, remember?
remember our starting point
our first step
step into the unknown
unknown fields of pleasure
pleasure of getting to know each other
other senses, other bodies
bodies in motion
motion of the heart
heart in wonder
wonder of wealth
wealth of touch
touch our core
core revealed
revealed emotion
emotion bared
bared our love
love our first step

One of the suggested forms today at OctPoWriMo was loop poetry. I wrote a poem, noticed it was from the head, realised we were asked about the heart too. So I wrote a second one, from the heart. Combined them in a table. Only in the process of putting them together, I realised this was going to be a cleave poem too if I played my cards well… A cleave poem is a poem that’s split in the middle, where the left part forms a poem, the right part forms a poem, and together they form a third poem.

So with a surprised face, I present to you for #OctPoWriMo day 9 my loop cleave table poem – or something like that 🙂 The right column should be outlined to the right but the block editor and I are no friends yet.
