HEART WEEK
The Green Heart of Holland
In the center of a Dutch metropolis lies a green heart
Just beyond
bustling urban bubble
Randstad’s borders, your heartbeat slows down.
Fields and flows; The Green Heart
of Holland.
After Tapan Avasthi’s #floralweek, and the #starweek initiative by Jenny Justice, we are now moving into #heartweek, inspired by Heidi Franklin. See her first poem and prompt here:
In The Netherlands, there’s factually one big metropolitan area, which strings together the country’s cities in a big c-shape. This area is referred to as the Randstad. In the heart of it lies a green area, with a lot of farm fields, water and small towns and villages.
The poem I wrote is a tritriplicata. If you want to know more about that form, please read the FAQ here carefully, but follow it loosely. Remember: the form is created to serve your poetry, not to let your poetry serve the form.
