It’s the one time of the month world’s collide, at least in the Universe of Pensieve:
Poetic License and Friday’s 40-or-less Photo Challenge
Rather than repeating what has already been explained, I encourage you to click the above links if you have no idea what I’m talking about:).
I have to interject, though, THANK YOU for legitimizing the "pensieve"; when I crafted the poetic form, I had reason to shake in my shoes–the few who posted early have jazzed my poetic soul! Y’all amaze me :).
For your convenience (and mine), I’m including both entries in one post, and for goodness sakes, while you’re busy clicking your co-conspirator’s links, be sure to let me know what you think of mine–good, bad or ugly! If you’ve ever hosted a Mr. Linky, you already know it’s not uncommon for readers to "forget" the host :). Be sure to identify your permalinks with "PPL" or "F40" or "Both" depending on your posting.
My offering for Poetic License ~ A pensieve complete with a photo for my muse this morning:
Mountains of whipped cream and chocolate and cake
Celestial layers silently awaiting their fate
Slight hint of coffee, aromatic surprise
Squishy delight on my tongue, it just smiled!
Meal’s punctuation–a taste of perfection.
Friday’s 40-or-less Photo Challege:
Quenches and satisfies,
Refreshing and life-giving–
No wonder Jesus compared Himself to it.

A note of sympathy ~ I have no idea what "blog protocol" is on things like this, but I thought participants of Pensieve’s Poetic License would want to know that Inheritor’s wife suffered a fatal heart attack week before last (he wrote to let me know because a post of his is scheduled for publication on Blog Nosh Magazine, and he asked for that to be postponed). Inheritor has been a regular contributer to PPL since its beginning, and my heart and prayers go out to him and his family. I was touched by the poetic tribute he pays to his wife this month, a pensieve that will surely reach you as well.
Nice poem Robin! though it’s far too early, I must have some Tiramisu now…
This form is a great creation and I had a lot of fun. Thanks!
well I’m breakfasting on your tiramisu. Food for the soul. So real I am having a sugar fit. Nice…nice… mmmmm.
I’m so glad you came up with this new idea. I”m sure you’ll want to revisit it again soon
(somewhat distracted by your sympathy note. His entry about his loss was shared with my hubby – we were touched.)
Okay, first and foremost, I heard about Inheritor’s wife’s passing on another blog earlier this week, and it just broke my heart. I’ll be sure to stop by his blog later on to offer my sympathies.
Secondly, this Pensieve PPL was such a fun one to do this month! You did a great job with creating the form, and I loved that I got to be one of the pioneers of a new form of poetry!!! And your tiramisu poem is great!
And thirdly, I love, love love your poem for the 40-or-less…LOVE IT!
Robin, you did a great job. I can tell you love tiramisu. I think you just made everyone else love it too.
You made the parallel of Jesus and water just plain obvious with your 40PC.
Robin, you’re good. I really appreciate the challenges you throw at us. You honestly made my week with the Pensieve challenge and you awakened some writing things in me that I had long put aside. You’re helping me want to do this more again, even if it’s just for myself and it’s junk!
Thanks so much. I hope you had as much fun doing these as we did. I’m off to read others’ now.
I had fun participating. And a poem about a dessert…that’s my kind of poetry!
I’m not participating this week but I’ll comment nonetheless. Tiramisu: It looks yummy but your words describing it were yummier. Is yummier a word? pinkwaterbottlewithcondensation: Great image. I think it’s so cool that your first thought is to grab your camera when you see such things. And I love how you tied the Word into this image. 🙂
Super Fun! Thanks for hosting this- had a blast 🙂
I’m glad I found your blog! This is soo much fun!
See my Pensieve and my 40 submission, I signed Mr. Linky!

Hi Robin. I got this up a little late, but here it is now. Thanks, it was a really cool poem to write! and I love both of your poems! Great job getting this all together….extremely creative, your mind!

I really like the one about tiramisu – in spite of the fact that I don’t really care for tiramisu. 😛 I guess that means you did a really good job! 🙂
I planned on writing one for Friday’s 40 – but plans got derailed when my daughter woke up with the worst case of pink eye and we ended up running to the doctor and running other errands all day long.
So I’m gonna try to visit the other participants and then call it a day poetry wise.
Not only does the picture of the tiramisu have me salivating, your poem had me practically tasting it!
So sorry to hear about your friend! In our prayers.
Post is up!
Thanks for doing this, Robyn!
Yeah, I gave it a go, too. My pensieve is only the second post for a brand new blog – a site reserved for my original writing. I’m calling the site, “Counting on Rain.” (Why? Because I can.)
And the title of my little pensieve? Well, it’s “May I Please Experience This Literary Cliche?”
Thanks for the new poetic form, Robin. I like it almost as much as I like limericks.
Love the 40 or Less caption!
I did it. Not my best work, but its there
Your description of tiramisu is perfect!
And I’m so, so sorry to hear about the Inheritor’s wife passing. Very sad. And what a beautiful tribute he wrote.
I finally have my poem up. 🙂 I too am sad to hear about Inheritor’s wife passing. 🙁
