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 I have decided to use a quirky, insightful little poem called “Poetry” by Marianne Moore as the basis of my inspiration for my own poem. You can read the lyrics to Marianne’s poem below.

Read “Poetry” by Marianne Moore over at poets.org

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

“A Tireless, Twinkling Wish” by David Ellis

Reading
A perfect place, for the genuine
Hands grasp, eyes dilate
These things are important
Interpretation can become the thing said
We understand the quest of something
Pushing, wild, taking a tireless, twinkling wish
Books, all make a distinction
Poetry among us, of the imagination
Imaginary, with real opinion
Raw material and that which is you
