Scanty snippets on/of poetry |
A poet has to manifest herself in a safe environment. This is such a place for my early baby steps. The wonders of the world and my inner thoughts mingle. They become one. It’s a journey of the soul, a spark of the mind, and a bit of spit. For more "Poet @ Work 2" [18+], "In honest simple verse" [E] On the other hand: it might be a brooding place for challenges and poetry contests, some of which required ONE STAR RATING. (In case somebody wonders about the gracing this blog) A large group of writers participated in this challenge that required to rate as low as possible. So, it doesn't mean this blog is a bad blog or that they reviewed mean, it was required and this is the consequence. Alas!

"The Daily Poem" [13+] Time How did it get so late so soon? How did it get so late? Now it is past the daily noon Already on this date Why do the seconds go that fast? Where do they disappear? What can I do to make it last? When death it is I fear With every sip of breath I take The ending closes in Wrinkles of old age do make Degeneration of the skin Oh Time, where do you fleed toward? Oh Time, where do you go? If leaving me behind this start You stop the forward flow I can’t go back but follow through So, stuck in this line’s vault Just one way up is to renew Never stops it to a halt Forward we go as sure we must As rays that never end In circles of Life’s wind we trust Like bamboo sprouts, we bend LC:24 Prompt: You must use the following quote from Dr. Seuss: How did it get so late so soon? You may not use tick, tock, minute(s), hour(s), year(s), or birthday. |
