looking in the mirror is a scary sight
I put down the mirror - go for a walk in the park
I feel soft and smooth still growing towards the tree tops
and I've a language of my own like no other you've ever
known

**** Thank you poets!!!
Melissa is playing host in the Poets Pub today. Cento poetry is the assignment. Cento is a poem composed from lines of other writers’ poems, a bit like a collage or quilt, which is the meaning of the Latin word cento.
Helen, you put a lot into four lines! Walking in the park is always a wonderful restorative process. Communing with nature is a language of its own indeed. Thanks for writing to the prompt!🌳
ReplyDeleteThat is really quite lovely, well done on the four lines you chose.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your poem, thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo well done, Helen. You've packed a lot into those four lines!
ReplyDeleteNice one
ReplyDeleteMuch♡love
Dearest Helen,
ReplyDeleteCento means 'hundred'... Nice concept!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Helen, the poem you made with the contribution of the other poets is wonderful. It really makes a lot of sense to me looking in the mirror...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
Nicely done, Helen!
ReplyDeleteGreat cento... you really made soemthing new of it all.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do this one but you certainly nailed it. And looking in the mirror for you is not a scary sight!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous writing, Helen! 💖💖
ReplyDeleteThese lines work seamlessly together.
ReplyDeleteI feel your youthfulness growing towards photosynthesising in the leafy treetops, Helen! A beautiful combination of borrowed lines...
ReplyDeleteA fun read, Helen. Delusions? p.s. Thanks for the visit and nice comment. We’ve been retired 25 ( Mrs. Jim) and 23 (myself) years and have fairly well finished our desire to travel. We have visited at least 82 countries. My list, https://jimmiehov3.blogspot.com/2021/08/countries-where-i-have-been-78-of-them.html?showComment=1716438967251 .
