I jumped right into poetry month. I think last year I was in the thick of some prose diversions. I’m posting a new fresh piece every day on both my FB page & on Make Spoken Word Go Viral. Viral has also been offering a daily prompt. I like a good prompt even more than a nice … well anyway …
On my FB page I’ve also been pairing the piece off with a photo, usually of mine & usually one that sort of relates to the poem. The posts stay up about 24 hours & get deleted before I post the next. Catch’m while you can.
Here’s one from earlier this week:
True
I was ready
to meet you half-way
I stood a moment there
on the stairway
you were nowhere to be seen
I couldn’t deny
what my eyes told me
only your footsteps
in the snow
after the moment
I made my own tracks
I was too cold to waste
anymore time on you
I’m not the answer
to anyone’s prayers
