Stella posted a new challenge:
And the poem week continues...
Again, pay attention to the teacher, because the first part is actually the instruction on how to solve:
"poems can be any words, recycled from great masters" - Poem below is constructed from other poems
"one to ten making a slope then layer by layer, peeled away from the outside in to create new verse"
Find ten poems, with word count one to ten.
Arrange them in order 1-10.
"lottery numbers? 3,5,2,7,4,1,6 no, friend, monograms' first!"
Take the first character of the firstname of the authers of lines 3,5,2,7,4,1,6
So, what do we find ?
"Motherless" by David Slavitt
"Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou
"And The Moon And The Stars And The World" by Charles Bukowski
"Forward the light brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
"Requiescat" by Oscar Wilde
"i carry your heart" by E.E. Cummings
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost
"How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Funeral Blues" by Wystan Hugh Auden
"Howl" by Allen Ginsberg
This gives us the slope mentioned in the instructions:
Motherless
I, rise
Watching tired housewives
Forward the light brigade
Tread lightly she is near
I carry your heart with me,
The; woods are lovely dark and deep
For the ends of being and ideal grace
Prevent the; dog from barking with a juicy bone
Connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night
The first character of the firstname of the authers of lines 3,5,2,7,4,1,6 gives us the solution:
