A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
Passion is a heady draught,
sometimes it makes us daft;
at others lifts unto the heights,
with other worlds in sight
When bound by passion’s mighty grip,
how easily we slip
from grace into such sad folly,
that sends us off our trolley.
It’s for the young, that is the thing,
they stand the pain it brings;
and now that we have grown so old,
with luck, it leaves us cold.

For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 21 2023
Prompt: Passion.
Note: I found this prompt probably the hardest ever encountered in Promptly, which is the reason for my taking five days to ponder on it. The problem was that I was trying to say something serious about the subject and there is just too much to say in that case. In the end I have been reduced to being flippant. My apologies.
