Writing
All begins as seeds,
The idea of the thing, a ghost -
nothing but a shape
to be fleshed out with
words, and words, and words.
Every Friday, post a poem. Only rule is that the poem must be original. Get ready for the good, the bad and the ugly...
Buttermik biscuits
You forgot your apron again,
and now flour handprints
have made their mark.
And in the oven-
heated with mathematical precision
your love rises
to golden perfection.
Remember the challenge is to post an original poem every Friday.
The first word
on a
blank page
I hope
leads to others
that I can be
proud
of
Squirrel by Sally Alexander
Squirrel, have you
forgotten
where you
stored your nuts?
Is that why
you
race
across my
lawn?
Or are you being
Chased
by more than
a
memory?
I think it's a good idea to start a new challenge. Here's one for 2023. Every Friday I have to post an original poem written by me.
No excuses.
The poems can be in any form or length. They can be on any topic. The only stipulation is that the poem must be original.
