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.

Today’s poem is a found poem inspired by a poem from one of the most well known and amazing romantic poets ever, John Keats.

You can find the lyrics to his deeply romantic and sensual poem below.

Read “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats over at Poetry Foundation

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

“Drink the World Unseen” by David Ellis

Heart and sense, as though drunk
Through happiness, in some vintage dance
Full of warm, blushful bubbles
Drink the world unseen
Among lustrous, tender flowers
Soft incense endows fruit
Wild and full of wine
Murmurous love, mused in quiet breath
Such ecstasy, in hungry, ancient magic
Buried deep, in a vision, waking music
