Weekly Poetry Challenge Prompt 1

Weekly Poetry Challenge

Prompt 1

 Alrighty, then!

Today begins the Weekly Poetry Prompt Challenge. Every Wednesday I'll post a prompt, on whatever subject, that I and any joiners will use to craft a poem. These poems are to be finished by the following weekend, so that I may post the said poem[s] some time during Sunday.

 Ready? Okay then. Thus, it begins.

Below is a poem by Amy Lowell. Tie your poems in some way, big or small, to the poem below. (Remember to cite, should you choose to do a found poem!) Or you can say to heck with this prompt and write your own. Anyone game? Here's the poem:

Hero-Worship by Amy Lowell

A face seen passing in a crowded street,
A voice heard singing music, large and free;
And from that moment life is changed, and we
Become of more heroic temper, meet
To freely ask and give, a man complete
Radiant because of faith, we dare to be
What Nature meant us. Brave idolatry
Which can conceive a hero! No deceit,
No knowledge taught by unrelenting years,
Can quench this fierce, untamable desire.
We know that what we long for once achieved
Will cease to satisfy. Be still our fears;
If what we worship fail us, still the fire
Burns on, and it is much to have believed.

Have fun!
