Thoughts interrupted ( puente)
where shall I go from here
so many paths to choose
don’t want to upset anyone
~life’s filled with so much wonder~
summer festivals begin
jazz, blues, francophonie
time to hop and have some fun

This is a new poetic form I am trying called the Puente (which means bridge in Spanish), uses a one line “bridge” to connect the first and last stanzas.
– 3 stanzas
– Stanzas 1 & 3 contain different ideas, thoughts
– Stanzas 1 & 3 consist of the same number of lines (meter and/or rhyming up to poet)
– Stanza 2 connects meaning from first to last stanza
– Stanza 2 must be one line enclosed in tildes ( ~ )
– Stanza 2 is the last line of Stanza 1 and first line of Stanza 3
Written for Poetry Jam – June 20 ,2014 Check this link out to see so many amazing poems written for this prompt.

Like how this developes from an introspective sort of melancholy through the bridge to a happier perspective! Really very well done.

Thanks so much, Georgia, for your kind words. Ironically, the second part actually refers to crossing the Champlain Bridge and I’m in the city where there are plenty of summer festivals:) That was just a coincidence.

Thank you, Donna, for reading my poem. Yes, I often put it off since I work late evenings in the city and don’t always want to go back on a day off…but I do have some time off…there are so many free venues (about 15 stages) all over the a section of the city from noon to 1am for 10 days.

Thanks so much, Alan, writing like this is quite honestly how we do think sometimes…how we can have 2 contractor thoughts going on at the same time. Makes me think of lots of relationships especially with teens…love/hate relationships…Oh! that’s a great idea for another Puente!! 😀
