Poetry Friday, Week 5: A New Fun Challenge For February

2/3/2022

Elisabeth at Unexpected Intersections is doing hosting duties this Friday.
The Inklings Challenge from Catherine this month: “Write a mathematical poem, such as a fib, pi poem, nonet, etc.”

The Poetry Sisters will be trying this out: The Exquisite Corpse

On Instagram, there's a really cool challenge for February: Februllage. It involves collaging to a daily prompt. I've decided to play with some collage with a bonus of writing a poem.

Wow! Go, Jone go! I can't keep up with this challenge in the making part. But, I'm thrilled to be in your audience. I do love a poem that stirs in some good factual information as you have with Jaguars. But that sisters poem--that's me and my sisters!

Your "Februllage" collection is great, Jone! I'm especially intrigued by your octopus tree poem...it 'tentacles my fancy'.(and I want to learn more! ;)

I'm smiling about "sisters...keepers of secrets". There may be an entire book in those words. Thank you!

I love how you incorporate art with your poetry and writing. I have noted these on fb and am glad to find out the details. Do you have a craft room/office dedicated space? I love the idea of exploring art more! My favorite is Two Sisters....lovely and something I wish for everyone who is lucky enough to have a sister.....

Jone, I love your poems and collages! I like how you shared your process of blacking out words in your jaguar poem. I love all cats. (Do you know Panthera.org helps conservation of all wild cats-big and small.) Wow-sisters "recipe keepers of secrets"! I love your photo of your grandmother and great-aunt. Love that octopus tree; you have me curious. Thank you for sharing your poems, collages, and inspiration. :)

Jone, thanks for introducing me to #februllage. I'm following now and enjoying all the unique art. Pairing with poems is quite the adventure, too.

Wow! You've been busy at things you are so good at. It's a challenge to do a daily prompt but I'm sure it will result in work that will continue to develop. Love the octopus tree!

This feels like it fits you so much, Jone. I've seen some of these from your posting, love the art with the words! I know about the jaguar, more sad news!

I lost track of whose blogs I read at last week's Poetry Friday. I am so glad that I read yours that holds such a wonderful array of Februllage collages with poems. I especially like The Two Sosters-such a hoot.
