Notes About The Poem

Poetic First Liners Wordsworth

I recite and read aloud,
wander, lonely as a cloud,
then emulate and create
as memory stimulates;
Swim against poetry's tide
therein,an enigma hide,
perhaps,a step too far,with
Tennyson,crossing the bar;
I dream on Will's sonnet verse,
figuratively,sweet and terse,
lazing life away,with songs
compared to a summer's day.

To conjure an opening line
ever,remembered,as mine.

Brian, very creative weaving of Wordsworth, Tennyson and Shakespeare as inspiration for your poem - something completely new from something previously spoken. I enjoyed this very much!
