Today’s National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) prompt: Respond to someone else’s poem from the bottom up.
I selected a poem from Whisky Words & a Shovel I by r.h. Sin. I bought this poetry book a few weeks ago, but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. I enjoyed opening it up for this prompt! I ended up only loosely using the source poem though.
My heart will stretch thin
(like dough expanded with a rolling pin)
I will knead my love
until it is enough
for you.
I love the wordplay with knead and the visual rhyme of dough and enough. Also fun: I leap to an image of stretching pizza dough by spinning it in the air.

Thanks! Didn’t even realize the visual rhyme myself! Love hearing what others think and experience.
