were diamonds to spark
only from the pendant of
a sole clasped bosom

Click below to read my other poem titled
'Olympia'
Poetry Jam prompt - 'Olypmics'
Carpe Diem Special #78, Pilgrimage to Santiago De Compostela (or The Way of St. James)
secrets revealed
in a magical and mysterious way -
the sound of babbling water
the sound of babbling water
brings the mind into ecstasy
secrets revealed
--Chèvrefeuille
Really I am a bit confused here. The first poem is not about the Olympics at all. And the second poem is one that does relate to the Olympics, but is one that is apparently on the Poem Hunter site (from some previous time) & is not a new poem. The purpose of the Poetry Jam prompt really is to write a new OLYMPIC poem, which I don't see.
ReplyDeletethe pendant of the soul clasped bosom...i need to think on that....as it is intriguing, wrapping my head around it though....

__In my weak mind's memory, the Olympic competions were generated by the initial contests at Mount Olympus; "more than the warrior's gall."
ReplyDelete__And, "the pendant of a soul clasped bosom" speaks directly toward that soul sought talisman, an Olympic Medal.
__Well seen, Gillena! _m
Thank you for your appreciation Magyar

The evolution of the competition is interesting. I believe some of the original competitors were fighting for love or life...maybe that was the gladiators, of which there were a few very good women too. All needing strength of sole and soul.
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted this anywhere else but as it has an Olympic lean I thought you might enjoy it... you have to go to the main site - I am as of the moment the only one to write on the prompt.
