#contrapuntal poem

[mist-of-flowers]

original poem : & i am your daughter

inspired by @two-bees-poetry !

first time so it’s not my favorite （ ´_⊃｀）

Op what the fuck??? this is hard already with two perspectives, how did you even manage to do three? all four poems are such a banger????

you will burn. like humans do. like gods cannot.

as the combined line, giving the three separate lines a completely new connotation while the separate lines increase the severety of the statement???? ahhhhh

Is that one of the best poems I've read so far?

i'm having trouble drawing so i... wrote a poem about the burning maze instead. i know it's a little unconventional as far as fanwork goes, but i've never worked harder on anything in my life so i hope you enjoy! the sun trio oooh the sun trio...

(in case you are unfamiliar with this format, this is a contrapuntal poem: you can read it as three separate poems, or as one big poem, left to right as you normally would and ignoring the breaks)

i've not written poetry in years (i'm more of a novelist) but i allowed myself some cassandra thoughts (as a treat). i actually had a lot of fun with this and i'm desperate to do more with the idea in the future so we will see.

inspired obviously by my own muses, @two-bees-poetry for the brilliant contrapuntal poems about greek myth, and anne carson, specifically when she talks about cassandra's speech being split in two and her bridging of past and future!

more of my logic in the tags because i'm annoying!

I rewatched Dead Poets Society a few weeks ago and felt inspired to write this contrapuntal poem :)

I saw @two-bees-poetry lady macbeth/macbeth poem 🌷and became inspired to try this format called (an okayish first attempt but a fun challenge) contrepulate poetry.

I've been into a lot of contrapuntal poetry lately, so I thought I'd try my hand at it. This one features my favorite ship of all time, literati <3
