Once I Was
For James & Oneg's Summer Writing Challenge
This was written for James & Oneg's Summer Writing Challenge Extravaganza. The prompt:
The Break Out of Your Cocoon Challenge π¦
The form I have chosen is Butterfly Cinquain, with, unusually four songs to illustrate the stages.
The Music is "Once I Was" by Tim Buckley, "Caterpillar" by The Cure, "Cuckoo Cocoon" by Genesis, and "Butterfly Dance" by Kevin Ayers and The Whole World.
Once I Was
ππππππππ
Once A
Caterpillar
I Stopped, Became Cocoon
And Slept And Grew For A Long Time
Until
The Cocoon Split, I Spread My Wings
Beautiful Butterfly
Is What I Am
Now, Fly

Music And Medication
Introduction My friend Mariann asked if she had missed a story about my daily #TabletArt, Music, and Medication posts. I thought that would be a good idea for two Plagiaristic Poetry posts. The first based on the medication and the second based on the last fourteen albums I have featured which you will need to go on Instagram to see, but you can see two of them in this poem.
