found poem for big tent poetry
the odd inkwell

I really like this, especially the ambiguity of the “the longed-for being.” To me, there could be an implied comma after “longed-for” which changes the meaning slightly. Or, “longed-for being” could be one phrase (the being the interesting child longs for, perhaps).

Another super selection of found words, starting with a big question.

What rouguish existence? Have you been dropping lace handkerchiefs in the inkwell again?

“I’m determined to make the most of my roguish existence” A fitting end to another great poem. As usual your work is inspiring and fun to read. Thank you for sharing.

Love the source of your collage of words asking a question that finds its response in a very today fashion. Extremely creative and well thought out. Kudos,

The opening question becomes an ambivalent answer with a mosaic of ideas in between! Beautiful!
