With this episode, I invite you to write a poem based on this theme: The Choice. Since no one took up the challenge last time, I'm doubling the prize from $0 to $0 for the one who writes the best poem along this theme. Now, the first person who writes a poem on this theme posts it to pleonast. The second person should read the preceding post and try to focus on a different aspect not covered by the first. Each writer should try to do this, depending on how many people write a poem. Please post these poems in the group. The deadline for this episode is November 15. The previous episodes have been produced for the previous month's content. Now, I'm going to try to produce the podcast episode for the current month and set the deadline in the middle of the month. If you'd like to have your work included in a Pleonast Poetry Podcast, please provide your e-mail address at the bottom of your poem as you post it to the list.

That light which skips through glass upon my neck Burns my skin red and shrugs my muscles tight. My lamp nearby is better light I'd keep To read by day and night, my scheme suspects A better torch to focus on the page Than my love's eyes if, thoughtless, I've enraged. My honey strikes me nothing like a song When, cringing at the day's brief sullen flight, She bows her head upon my neck in spite And tightly cedes her tears with mine along To comfort her, to smile, yes in requite For days before when her sweet tears sopped my Face clean of troubles from my day and quite Out of rhyme are her cadences of drops. My honey is not as a playing child Who, with her dolls and guys, at labor toils Away the morning light while my thoughts keep In thoughtless dreams of unkempt saucy style.
