My response to dVerse Poets Pub 5 Year celebration Part 4, Catching up with Samuel Peralta
Björn has interviewed Samuel Peralta. I enjoyed his poem, ‘N. poeticus’, which has made me a little nervous about my own post this evening. What I have taken from the interview is Sam’s advice to ‘write from the heart, but edit with your head – mercilessly’.
Björn has also brought one of Sam’s old prompts to the bar, challenged us to write a poem with a limit of 140 characters (including spaces, line-spaces etc. and even provided a link to Sam’s original prompt.
In glaze of dusk,
Besieged by
Concepts
Of time’s unpredictable
Effects,
I watched gulls
Spill into waves,
Pink snow
In sunset’s afterglow.

Love the title, & lovely feel to the poem–stretched out to seem longer than it is. I like the lines /I watched gulls/spill into waves/.

Sunsets have such a way with their coloring that makes things amongst them just glimmer and glow…beautiful images of the “pink snow/in sunset’s afterglow.”
