The Word Cloud

A tritina written for my online writing course.  We were given three words that we had to use at the end of the lines (light, glass, and bear), and then in a different order for each verse.  And it finishes with one sentence with all the end-words in.  Darn fiddley to do!

Bear Hunt


Through the lamp’s flickering light

a form gathers within the glass

and slowly reveals a bear

 Then hunters follow the bear,

the figures shimmering in the light

and bring to life the Roman cup of glass

 

Small bubbles haunt the blue glass

and in the their forest the bear

jumps and growls within lamp light

And so the light sparkles on the glass cup and also seems to hunt the bear
