Day 29: And now for our daily prompt (optional, as always). Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem based on the Plath Poetry Project’s calendar. Simply pick a poem from the calendar, and then write a poem that responds or engages with your chosen Plath poem in some way.
OMG! I thought since it is the second last day of the month the prompts are gonna get easier just like the previous two days. However, this prompt not only came as a shock but this really did scare me. I did not think I can do today’s prompt. Seriously, my heart kept saying go with the prompt but my mind went on saying “No Preethi, just give up”. But finally I am listening to my heart and giving it a try. And the poem I chose for today’s prompt is “Child” by Sylvia Plath.
Child by Sylvia Plath
Your clear eye is the one absolutely beautiful thing. I want to fill it with color and ducks, The zoo of the new Whose names you meditate — Stalk without wrinkle, Not this troublous |
My take on the poem based on today’s prompt poem is as below. The words in bold are the words I chose from the poem “Child” by Sylvia Plath. Hope I got the prompt right and did justice.
Suspicious Heart!
Your clear eye is so beautiful and charming,
Wish I knew the dreams and wishes behind it,
The heart of the new.
Whose names you meditate-
Is mine in that list too,
Hope
Knock without jiggle,
Pool of imaginations,
Should be grand and classical.
This heart is suspicious,
Holding of hands,
Under this dark Ceiling with a fluorescent star.

Hugs Smitha 😊 When it comes to NaPoWriMo last year or this year your posts have been an inspiration for me to not give up on the prompt when I felt like giving up, I had mentioned that last year too during NaPoWrimo post and this year during AtoZ Challenge… And you have experienced the coincidence recently as to how you have been my strength secretly 😊 I am just being honest and you definitely deserve it Smitha😊 ❤️ I know your post would never let me down… As you are a wonderful soul😊❤️
Thanks you Smitha😊❤️
