THE FOUND POEM
Prompt - The Found Poem : Read a book and circle some words on a page. Use those words to craft a poem.
When the snow starts,
My body won't be there
You'll miss the warmth you need from me
When I have gone elsewhere
I suppose not, you said,
I have solid warm clothes,
I'm from the north, we understand cold
I do know how it goes
You heard my words
But you didn't hear me
And saying what I wanted to say?
It's not who I can be
When the snow starts,
My body won't be there
Is it just the warmth of me you'll miss,
When I have gone elsewhere?
Footnote - The original words are from Nicolas Freeling's Valparaiso :
"When the snow starts, my body won't be there to provide warmth."
It jarred on him; nothing had been further from his thoughts
"No, I suppose not. I have plenty of solid warm clothes. I thought about it carefully. And I am from the north, you know. We understand cold, there."
