Our friend Jodi Barnes revives this concept annually in the lead up to Valentines Day. Her "14 words of love" is always well received.
So, here is the micropoetry twist.We're shrinking things down a little bit more.
So, here is the micropoetry twist.We're shrinking things down a little bit more.
To test your mettle, write a poem in 14 WORDS, not our usual 14 lines.
Topic for this jaunt into madness? "The Promise of Tomorrow!"
Yesterday’s dreams are hopeful,
ReplyDeletecatapulting on the springboard of today.
Tomorrow yields our reward.

Friday comes bearing gifts,
ReplyDeleteuplifting spirits as we lift spirits.
A toast to tomorrow!

The sun
ReplyDeleteon upward climb
brings me hope until
the next time
I’m undone.

Your arm
ReplyDeleteleads me away
from the darkened places
of my yesterday
without harm.

A very nice pair of poems, Susan. We get right to the point in 14 words, don't we?
DeleteThank you, Walt. Fun for me, since I can sometimes be a bit long-winded.
DeleteAs can I, Susan!
DeleteWalt, you and Susan have done a superb job of answering this prompt. I'll see what I can do for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! As always, Walt is amazing!!

ReplyDeleteBeside yesterday's dreams
ReplyDeletesit my aspirations,
never-ending promises to

DeleteYESTERDAY
ReplyDeleteEyes closed,
edge of tomorrow
approaches the horizon,
I rest in dreams of hope.
Dreams of hope carry us from yesterday to tomorrow! I agree. Good title.
ReplyDeleteFutures beckon
ReplyDeletefrom where we long to be.
Today, way station to destination!
The sun will rise
ReplyDeletethe sun will set
night will dance
a stately minuet
Fair or not
life goes on
even though
your heart
is breaking.
Carry on.
Carry on, to be sure Debi. Great bursts of poetics!
