In lyrical licentiousness
such beautiful things;eternal;
cleaving chronicled culture
into minted madness
within my embrace.
And everywhere around us the anticipation grows
illuminating frenetic disappointment
amid dandified defectors.
"Getchmis olsen," croaked the ancient schoolboy.
Author notes
(The words "Getchmis olsen" are Turkish, I believe, and mean "May it pass quickly")
The challenge:
Write a new poem by piecing together bits from your other poems. You can't use whole stanzas. Only images or single lines. Meaning, you can't use the word "the", because you need it to connect two images or lines, and say the word came from such-and-such poem. You must use complete thoughts, ideas, images, lines from your previous works.
Lines (as they appear) are from the following poems:

Very creative, You did well combine old piece making them into a new work. Good luck with this in the contest.

I thought this was beautiful. It will be fun to check out the links and see how your lines originally appeared and how the context has changed in order to create the piece you've submitted. I must say, though, what you have here is stunning. Quite the tongue-twister. lol

good
I love the way you use the ryhme and ryhtm of your other poems...just one question...what does "Getchmis olsen" mean? Amazing poem by the way...the words just slide off of the tongue with ease.
