Hello Poets,
Heidi challenges us to write Soduko poems this month. Oh, my goodness...these are definitely fun and absorbing.
Trying to get the words to complement each other in horizontal and vertical paths is a hoot!
Read this sudoku poem...can you guess where the thought started?
This week there are TWO poems on the WORD padlet to make up for last week's miss.
Black Swallowtail:
Raw Caw:
We are halfway through the year. I think that's a celebration of some sort...maybe ice cream!
For more Soduko poems check out these poets:
Margaret at Reflections on the Teche
Catherine at Reading to the Core
Heidi at My Juicy Little Universe
Molly at Nix the Comfort Zone
Mary Lee at Another Year of Reading
Thank you, Marcie Flinchum Atkins for heading up our Round-up this week! She's urging us to join her on the Sealey Challenge.
I'm hosting next week--with some clunkeroonies! See you then.
the sudoku poems do seem challenging, try this, nope, or this, yes! I wonder if you started with 'no words', hence the poetic music you wrote! It's great in all the ways, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI felt like I was at an outdoor concert reading this, which is delightful. I love jamming/meadow flowers/summer/jiving. Makes me think of John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock, who I've neglected the last few years.
ReplyDeleteLast post was me. I forgot to sign in properly!
ReplyDeleteYou put us right into the moment listening to the jazz riff. Your summer seems to be going in the direction you need most at this time...relaxing!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun - but I can imagine I'd go a bit cross-eyed trying to write one. I see you started yours across -- I think others put their central thought down or diagonally. I wonder if it matters where you start, how much fiddling you have to do??? These are so cool.
ReplyDelete(This was Tanita; apparently Google hates me today.)
DeleteWell, July IS National Ice Cream Month, so your celebration idea makes sense! I was clearly mostly asleep when I looked at this before, Linda--in the clearer light of day I can appreciate the energy of jamming, jiving jazz and "just a sax riffing on blue notes." Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteJazz music, summer, flowers—I Iike your alliteration with all the S and J’s —and syncopated rhythm, 🎶 fun riffs, thanks Linda!
ReplyDeleteI better get started on my c;unkeroonies, Linda. You made me start thinking about ice cream. Have you trieds Swirlies in Haymarket? Love the chocolate dip add-on. Now for the central focus: Suduko Poems. I have been thinking of unrattling the mystery. I see you have done that with ease. "Light jewels words for friends" - love this! Not one but 3 poems this week! Yeah for you, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLove all the alliteration and musicality! So many wonderful ideas no matter which way it's read. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGosh these are so fun, Linda! I'm already addicted. And yes, to more ice cream!
ReplyDeleteEvery track of this musical takes me to the jazz festival with you and your friends!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Jazz Festival with us, Linda. I felt I was right there! This form looks challenging but you make it seem easy. Enjoy that ice cream!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously so impressed by all of you sudoku writers! Amazing! I really love "jamming meadow flowers."
ReplyDeleteI love your Sudoku poem and especially how you began with "no words..." Your word choice was then stellar throughout! lol So glad you had fun harmonizing with "old" friends with a jazzy soundtrack. Thanks for sharing the fun!
ReplyDeleteSudoku poems are treasure troves. Jiving blue smooth. Such a cool collection of jazz feels and sounds and images. And love your 52 poems in 52 weeks! RAW CAW carries that jazzy theme.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that is what jazz feels like!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I feel the summertime jazz. You're all wowing me!
