Several RTH Members have indicated their interest in the Poetry of Images Contest but their aversion to/discomfort with writing a poem "out of thin air" is strong. 
I have suggested using an existing poem as a basis for creating a new one. Here is an example of how easily that can be done by just following the rhyming scheme and basic rhythm of the original poem. 
My poem is inspired by "Beefjello 3"

My poem is inspired by "Beefjello 3"
| A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns My love is like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June : My love is like the melody That’s sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in love am I : And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry. Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun : And I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only love, And fare thee weel a while ! And I will come again, my love, Thou’ it were ten thousand mile. | A Promised Heart by Lady B My love is like a polished stone That’s newly shaped by thee. My love is like a cabochon That’s sweetly given me. And so to you, my handsome boy, So easy on the eye, I pledge to love you evermore, Until the day I die. Until the day I die, my love, And rocks no more are ground : I pledge to love you evermore, By honor I am bound. Through this quartz heart, my handsome boy, Our love is pledged again! My heart is yours, my own beloved, Until all time shall end. |
