NaPoWriMo 2020 – Day 3 – “A Flower To Your Lips” by David Ellis – A Found Poem Inspired by “If You Forget Me” by Pablo Neruda

Hey there everyone.

I’m participating in NaPoWriMo 2020, if you aren’t following the NaPoWriMo website already then go check it out at www.napowrimo.net.

For my Day 3 poem, I have drawn inspiration from a fantastic poem by Pablo Neruda called “If You Forget Me” to create my found poem.

Here is Madonna doing a lovely reading Pablo Neruda’s “If You Forget Me”

Finally, here is my own found poem, thank you for reading and good luck with all of your NaPoWriMo adventures throughout this month!

“A Flower To Your Lips” by David Ellis

Know this
If I look at the moon
The slow touch carries me to you
Aromas, light
Boats that sail toward me now, little by little
Shall stop by
You look long, through my heart
Lift off to another land
Each hour destined, with sweetness
If each day, your lips seek my own
All that fire is repeated, beloved
As long as you live
