Not sure if it works, but I felt compelled to follow this theme...<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://jillypoet.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-newest-patchwork-poem.html" REL="nofollow">Can You Believe God Opened Up the Heavens and Adam Appeared</A><BR/><BR/>I hope everyone had a great time piecing their poems together. And thanks, Lirone, for the idea to paste all the poems into a word doc. I was printing each poem out and stapling the bunch together. Your way works much better.<BR/><BR/>Next time, I think I might try printing the poems at 14 or 16 font size, cutting them up, putting them in a hat, and pulling one line at a time.jillypoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951224240914478371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375499499665554482.post-31926038707855067292008-02-28T16:03:00.000-08:002008-02-28T16:03:00.000-08:00What I find so interesting is how certain lines ge...What I find so interesting is how certain lines get picked by several poets. I like how those lines take on a life of their own, becoming something different to each person.writerwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645753712657412094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375499499665554482.post-36115187873042412452008-02-28T16:01:00.000-08:002008-02-28T16:01:00.000-08:00Here what I came up with:Silent ScreamingThanks Ji...Here what I came up with:<BR/><A HREF="http://shewritespoetry.blogspot.com/2008/02/silent-screaming.html" REL="nofollow">Silent Screaming</A><BR/><BR/>Thanks Jilly Poet for creating this great site and for being so supportive.writerwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645753712657412094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375499499665554482.post-57923152555949641592008-02-28T10:21:00.000-08:002008-02-28T10:21:00.000-08:00Mine is here...fighting for loveI pasted all the p...Mine is here...<BR/><A HREF="http://wordsthatsing.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/fighting-for-love-patchwork-poem/" REL="nofollow">fighting for love</A><BR/><BR/>I pasted all the poems into a word document, read them all a few times. I really liked the line "I am fighting for love", and as I carried on scrolling up and down I saw more and more lines that would weave in well to this. <BR/><BR/>And then I just kept cutting and pasting, and it slowly turned into the story of my own fight for love which (as you'll guess from "silence") is definitely very much on my mind at the moment. <BR/><BR/>Except it's not quite my story, because the phrases weren't quite there to tell it the way I would have done alone - and some ideas came out I'd never have thought of. <BR/><BR/>Must go and catch up with poems by others that I've not read yet - so strange how we pick many of the same lines but they mean something quite different depending on the context!<BR/><BR/>Fun :)Lironehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105578041902711289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375499499665554482.post-32964214892254215592008-02-28T08:15:00.000-08:002008-02-28T08:15:00.000-08:00Hey, patchworkers!

I never write political poems, so this one is a leap for me.<A HREF="http://mariacristina.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/does-the-debate-end/" REL="nofollow">Does the debate end when it comes to darwin and creationism? </A><BR/><BR/>I've enjoyed reading all the poems. This process helps me become a better reader of poetry, because I have to really think about each line. It also makes me a better writer, because it frees up my imagination, rules about punctuation, and my tendency to be a linear thinker.
