Poetry Friday, Week 25: #PoetryPals

6/24/2021

Today all the poetry treasures can be found at Linda at A Word Edgewise.
Today I am sharing a Zentangle Poem Challenge that the Poetry Sisters have offered for June, that's to Tricia for the informations  It is a challenge for sure: finding the great page for a blackout poem, finding the words that connect into some poetic thought.  The fun is the Zentangle part of the project. This post by Kat Apel explains Zentangle and Erasure poetry.

   Library Look

Library school remembers
wood-paneled walls
the wooden draws
with
handwritten index cards
the pencils
rubber date stamps
the staccato creak 
of 
fans
their faces smell the rain
visitors
in 
the children's room
far from the hushed center
veered into quiet.
Many
catching up
on their sleep
searching
succor

Jone,
Thank you for sharing the link to Kathryn's post about Zentangle and Erasure poems. I will definitely revisit that post and ive one a try. I love the library memories you found on that page of text. Your drawing too, full of books and library beauty. Nice post.

Sweet library memories! The staccato creak of fans and the smell of rain... you found gold on this page. Your zentangle is cleverly revealing too! Thanks for playing.

Oh, look! That is incredible. I love it. I think you have a new specialty. How incredible that you found that last word for that last line. Incredible...wait, did I say that already? So many great descriptions in here of a library of the past.

Ah, the 'staccato creak' & "date stamps' brings back a lot, though I've never been a librarian, I have been to so many! I love the way your created the zentangle with a variety of lines, Jone, & with those letters at the top!

Jone, from the very beginning, the title, shares your creative streak and love of libraries-the old ones with
wood-paneled walls
the wooden draws
with
handwritten index cards
I loved visiting libraries as a child. It opened the door to many facets of life that I could only dream of.
Your design is so intricately shaped to bringus right into your library look.

WOW, how on earth did you find such a perfect piece from which to draw your poem? The "many catching up on their sleep" made me chuckle - yes, in the hallowed halls of books, there's a bit of that some days. You really nailed this form!

What an ode to libraries! You've filled it with such detail---especially love the creak of fans---and it makes me want to run to my local library right this second and drink it all in. Well played!

Jone, this is wonderful! Beautiful zentangling to go with the beautiful words you found. Thank you!

The wooden drawers and hand-written index cards had a certain magic to them. I miss those libraries, Jone.

My poems tended to be short and pithy. You got lots of rich details out of your text, and your visuals a just fabulous!

What a lovely, detail-filled poem. And the ending...melancholy but sweet. So many kinds of nourishment to be found in a library!

I remember all those things about libraries!

What a descriptive memory you pulled out of the text–I could feel the earlier time captured through your description of
"wooden draws
with
handwritten index cards
the pencils
rubber date stamps"

Also I like how you confined your poem to a long narrow space perhaps like a book stack, and your latticed pen work draws us in, lovely, Thanks!
