Trial ii.ii: Oceanic
By: The Mad Poetess
~
Purpose:
Thaw the tundra
and its deluge
will bring you closer to the
poetry.
Hypothesis:
Third times the charm
(or so they say);
This genus of ink
shall finally bring these poems to
fruition.
Materials:
Spring (the season)
Tundra
Inkwell
Ophelia's petals:
- Rosemary (for remembrance)
- Pansies (for thoughts)
- Fennel
- Columbines
- Rue
- A single daisy
- Violets (withered)
- Quill pen
- Parchment
Procedure:
When spring arrives in late May, bring the inkwell into the garden
Allow the Tundra time to melt
Once the ice has melted, add Ophelia’s petals: rosemary (for remembrance); pansies (for thoughts); fennel; columbines; rue; a single daisy; withered violets
Dip quill into ink
Press quill to parchment
Write poetry
Observation:
Ink runs itself
illegible
across the parchment
~
There is a stanza writ aslant an inkwell,
Therewith fantastic potential did the
quill come.
There on the couplet,
Clambering to hang, an envious line
Broke;
When down she
Fell in the rabid ink. Her feathers
Spread wide;
And raven-like, awhile they bore her
Up:
Which time she chanted the sonnets
she never had the chance to write;
As one incapable of her own distress
Till that her garments, heavy with her
Ink,
Pull'd the poor wretch
to her drowning.
