Thank you for that, Kiya - it's not many brave the wilds of my portfolio to discover my little 8-line poems, so it's wonderful to have some feedback on them. Much appreciated!
Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!
in grasping the holdless ceiling
defies the sight and mind of man
denies the fact of river
lake and stream
proposes cloudbed rivers borne
by windy banks
to seas and oceans
of the sky.

Prompt: Write a ceiling poem.
Note: This is a bit of a cheat since it was actually written in 1970 and is not brand new therefore. It fitted the prompt so well and I was feeling equally uninspired that I felt I might get away with pointing at it today. It is also unusual that, in order for it to make sense, the title should be read as though it were the first line of the poem.
