I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

tenWords Extracted

Gave her heart
only for a few seconds.
More than enough.

******

Buying silk,
an artist expressed
a desire to know velvets.

******

In the garden
very quiet
dream-life taking hold —
remember?

******

Pure frosty mornings:
rare occasions
when there is no wind.


The tenWords form is an invention of Brian Miller's. At dVerse today we are asked to try some. I extracted the above from pages of the novel The Maker of Heavenly Trousers by Daniel Varé; so they are also, in a sense, found poems, and — because some of the words are far apart — they are similar to erasure poems too.
