We're back in a new incarnation, and we're calling all poets who blog! Our Mighty Foursome plans to inspire ourselves and other poets through Wednesday prompts.
The
chapel Bridge of Lucerne, Switzerland inspires me to write today’s prompt. It
is a covered wooden footbridge, the oldest covered bridge in Europe, built in
the 14th century, spanning the river Reuss diagonally, in Lucerne.
As
I began my walk over the Reuss I immediately felt that this bridge was more
than a mere structure. It was unusually alive and embodied the spirit of
connection and renewal. How effortlessly it bridged past and present with its
17th century paintings in triangular frames and the magnificent
floral display of today. It indeed was a hanging delight.
Wikipedia
says, this bridge almost burned down on 18 August 1993, destroying two thirds
of its interior paintings. Shortly thereafter, it was reconstructed and again
opened to the public.
The
bridge breathes stories of the past as well as the present. All bridges do.
Today write
a Bridge poem. Your bridge may be real or metaphorical and not to forget Bridge
is a card game too.
