I WANT TO MEET YOU/ Poetry Potluck #21

                                                 Gustav Klimt

Welcome to Poetry Potluck #21This week we are asked for our Aims, Goals, and Ambitions.  The name of my poem is about a goal, and I chose to write it in the form of a Pantoum.  Hope you will also check out all the other super entries!


I WANT TO MEET YOU

I want to meet you,
now, not someday.
Your touch, like a thin piece of silk
pressing against my face.

Now, not someday..
I can do mischief too.
Pressing against my face,
it felt like a kiss.

I can do mischief too.
I dwell in my mind,
it felt like a kiss.
Who did you last embrace?

I dwell in my mind.
Reminisce with me,
who did you last embrace?
Just a ghost in the fog of dawn?

Reminisce with me.
Your touch, like a thin piece of silk,
just a ghost in the fog of dawn?
I want to meet you.

Beautiful pantoum...seems an appropriate form for the theme. I love the painting "The Kiss"--perfect illustration.

Very enjoyable. I was also shocked because I, too, wrote a French Pantoum. You used the form very well to create tension.

Lyn said...

Hello Lyn, stopped by to read your Magpie Tales which I enjoyed. Stayed a while to read a few of your lovely poems. Beautiful ... will call again.
..a French Pantoum ..new to me too!

Lyn said...

Hi Kathe W.-
Thanks for your kind words and I do love the painting too!!

Lyn said...

Hi fiveloaf-
Thanks so much for your input. I started Pantoums (the way I learned in a poetry class)) about 6 yrs. ago, loved it right away, because for me it always uncovers a mystery! I know your spelling must be right!!

Lyn said...

Hi Mary-
Welcome..it's so nice to see your lovely words..thank you!!

I have no idea what a pantoum is Lyn, but your poem is lovely!

Lyn said...

Hi Jane-
Thanks so much..for an explanation of Pantoum you can check out "Roses Once More/A Pantoum", on my Jan.site, 1/28/11..or, it's a poetic form, the roots of which are Malaysian, starting in the 15th Cent. I really like it!! Hooked!!

Lyn said...

Hi Jingle-
Does she seem a bit desperate? A ittle scary? Hmmm...Thanks for you comment, always!

Louise said...

What magic a Pantoum AND a Klimt. Wonderful!

Lyn said...

Hi Louise-
So glad you liked this combo!! Thank you... Something about Klimt...

kolembo said...

Wow, it's dense and tangled, and I like it.

Lyn said...

Hi Kenny-
Thank you so much...I think the form forces certain results, usually interesting!

Kavita said...

Simply lovely, Lyn! I too think it's a great idea to meet the different sides of self once in a while... that way, they'll all be on the same page...
Loved how your words played on my mind... Enjoyed this one!

And now you have inspired me to try writing a French Pantoum.. will take hints from your write here :)

Lyn said...

Hi Kavita-
Lovely words, thank you so much!If you want to write a Pantoum(I don't know what a French Pantoum is!!!) you might want to turn to "Roses Once More", Jan. 28, 2011.. where you will find some instructions that might help.
I hope you do try it..you'll be surprised at what happens!!
