#8.2 - Untitled

For this poem I've actually used day seven's prompt from NaPoWriMo.

Untitled

This is going to be fixed.
Listen carefully, take notes.
You'll get out of this.
There's no 'hopefully', it's true.
No more cast down looks.
Chin up and get to work.
Can't you see it's your battle?

Promises - Poem

Wheat field image from  Stockvault   Promises I will think of you As the sun sets on wheat fields I had said, convinced Field rampaged, violent Winds pushing continents a part of me, of you.

Two kites were broken I'm the victim and culprit Add another stripe.

Dialogue Between a Stone and a Star

Image
Also shared on Poets United  and Imaginary Garden With Real Toads It's day two of NaPoWriMo, and I'm back with a late night poem! (If you consider this time to be late. I suppose it depends!). I've been reading Stones and Stars , dipping in and out, since I never read poetry collections cover to cover, and the poems are really lovely.

I very much hope you like it! -- Dialogue Between a Stone and a Star The Star: I am above, dear stone, both in matter and place I quite literally fill the whole of space. I shine and give hope to lost souls in the dark And lost trav...
