The Gathering Place

Posted on 01/13/2015 by Stephanie

Imagine…
 
Garden fairies on the prowl
Gargoyles gazing down
Lost souls looking for a claim
Remnants of a carnival’s beached clown.
 
Envisage…
 
A baby takes his first breath
An elderly soul finally at rest
Ghosts who wander through time and space
Demons with an unholy quest.
 
Visualize…
 
Brimstone from a dragon’s fire
A unicorn’s crowning spiral
Hunters seeking distant prey
Ogre brides walking down the aisle.
 
Picture…
 
A place with many doors
Where all of this is found
Look between the covers
Where creative words abound.
 
Flip the cover if you dare,
Warlocks, wizards, stars, and space
You’ll find them there
In the gathering place.

The Studio 30+ prompts of envisage and imagine used in conjunction with Inspiration Monday’s “Beached Clown” prompt helped bring this poem to life. I hope you enjoyed it!

    I enjoyed the rhythm in this piece SAM. Each caption for the stanzas pulled together what you shared with us within them. The fantastical elements of the content made it fun to read thrice.

    I really liked this and the way you used each single word. Makes me want to read all my fantasy novels again.

      Good! That was the point of the poem!

    Cool way to weave together all the wonderful things hiding between pages. I love the “many doors” metaphor.

    I love the pictures it inspired and a lovely rhythm to boot.
