The final NaPoWriMo Read Write Poem prompt was to leave a line for an exquisite corpse and take a line as an inspiration for the final poem. I used Joanna‘s line, a handful of feathers, for a modified Fibonacci poem using word instead of syllable counts for each line.
A Handful of Feathers
I
open
my hand
and the feathers
take to the air. Adrift,
they swirl like words searching for a poem.

Hope you’re doing well after the April poetry madness. I stopped by to pass on a Kreativ Blogger Award. Others awarded it to me with the charge to pass it onto others. Visit the link below for details. Thanks again for sharing your poetry and supporting my work during April.

This was one of my favorite lines! Everyone used the “feathers” differently and each poem came out fabulously!
The structure really plays well with the overall feel of the poem (the drifting). The last line is my favorite.
Thank yo for sharing with us this month! I look forward to reading more of your work!
Simple, lovely image. I especially like the end: “words searching for a poem” and how the form is also a kind of riff on that. I have enjoyed the unique voice you develop in your poems and also the insights you bring from Turkish culture.
I’m going to miss this — it has been like opening a new present every day. Thank you.
What great imagery! And the lyric is like concrete poetry in that its appearance on the page looks like an opening palm. I like it a lot.
