Verse First ~ Patterns




Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems. 
Today's notion?


PATTERNS

In simplest terms, a pattern is the repetition of particular objects, like dots, stripes or zig-zags, the cells of a honeycomb or ribs of a palm frond. Millions of patterns occur in nature.  Think Fibonacci!

 In humans and other animals, a pattern is an repetitive, predictable type of behavior. Habits develop from patterns, repeated. 

 Mathematics is sometimes called the science of patterns; and computer programming is based on reusable, repeatable lines of code - patterns. 

A pattern can be a template or a guide used to recreate an existing item, like an architectural element, an item of clothing or a piece of furniture.

 Patterns. Look around. Look inside. They're everywhere. Now write about one!

    Mine is far too heavy, but it's what emerged.

      Actually, I appreciate poems that are heavy. Never apologize for this.

    I just drew the pattern of "HOPE" stages. Hope my (horrendous) drawing can speak for itself! :)

      So glad you like the prompts, Lisa. Thanks for letting us know. Sometimes it is difficult to know if we are reaching the writers in a meaningful way.

      Haven't watched TOUCH. Heard about it though and see why you make that connection.

    I shared mine, Kim! I thought about 'patterns,' and this particular poem resulted. I greatly appreciate your prompts...as without your prompt this particular poem would not have been written!

    Kim, I have spent the day running around seeing doctors and being fitted with a halter monitor. I am too fizzled to write, but maybe tomorrow something will surface. I will enjoy reading everyone else's, at any rate!

    I like the way these prompts trigger things which otherwise I would probably never write.
