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 used a very well know poem from an astoundingly talented poet who I admire enormously as my inspiration. You can read the poem that inspired my piece here, if you haven’t read it before!
Read “Kubla Khan” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge over at Poetry Foundation
Finally, here is my own romantic found poem, thank you for reading and good luck with all of your NaPoWriMo adventures throughout this month!

“Drunk of Paradise” by David Ellis
In a dream fragment
Pleasure, sacred
Miles of fertile ground
With walls and gardens
Blossomed forests
Ancient, sunny greenery
That deep, romantic place
Enchanted moon, ceaseless
As if breathing, dancing
Meandering through shadow
Floated on waves
Mingled miracle of rare vision
Singing, within me, symphony
Deep delight would build
In eyes, honey-fed
And drunk of paradise

Very nice poem 👌
The header of your site is wonderful! Every year I say I’ll join napowrimo, but I always leave for the next year. Your poems are lovely!
Hey there Elizabeth, thank you for visiting and your comment too, that is very kind of you to say so! NaPo is a huge commitment, I always say that even if you “sign up” to it and then only write on some of the days, it can still be an excellent motivational tool to get you writing poetry alongside a very supportive community. Also, if you can find a theme or use the NaPo website prompts, you can usually find enough inspiration to write well throughout the month. There is no judgment, if you get behind in days you can always catch up on your own time. I would go easy on yourself and if you choose to do it (or one of the other writing months like National Blog Posting Month in November) then I would try to set a goal of writing once a week. At the very least you will have content you can put towards a book or to feature on your blog 🙂 Thank you for reading my poems, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to look at them 🙂
