Two Sylvias Press Advent Calendar challenge: Day 6
First posted on WordPress here
For all the poems in this Two Sylvias Press Advent Calendar challenge for 2023, visit my musings here.
Prologue: This is a 31 day event that helps poets and authors all over to pen down 31 new poems in the month of December (2023). Every day we can open the calendar for that day to read about the prompt for that day. Then let your imagination fly to infinity with your thoughts and voice.
For Day 6 the Prompt given to us was to compile a list of several book and poem titles of your choice, then write a poem weaving the titles into the narrative. Here is my version.
So far this is perhaps my favorite prompt, only because I get to browse through by favorite author's titles again. Nora Roberts is my favorite romance mystery fiction author; and I have collection of all of her books she has written under "Nora Roberts". Although lately her books are not as powerful, I still enjoy reading them.
Note: All bolded words are book titles.
Prompt 6: Love Affair with Nora's Novels
Browsing through my library Once More with Feeling;
I realized never be Tempting Fate by Playing the Odds.
Why? You ask. Cause it's Risky Business to wake up
Hidden Public Secrets or unsealed Sacred Sins.
However, don’t ignore the Honest Illusions which
Show up to provide Endings and Beginnings while
One searches for Hidden Riches in uncharted paths
And veiled behind those thick curtains of Night Smoke.
Will those riches be a Hidden Star or a hush-hush Secret Star?
Will it be a Captive Star waiting for an eon to be rescued?
Moving Heaven and Earth might impact Times Change
But Summer Pleasures and Northern Lights are not too far.
