A poem a day keeps the cobwebs off my keyboard.

A place for the poetry that I will need to write now that I made a special book for it.

A chicken is often content
with a coop surrounded by fence.
But to keep her from feeling pent,
make a run for it

If you find yourself parked by the bank
engine running, with a full tank
and waiting for friends - Let’s be frank,
make a run for it!

If you’re unhappy with government
and have suspicions about its intent
maybe you should be president -
make a run for it.

Write a poem in which one line repeats — but its meaning changes each time.

The question escaped my lips,
but the words, shy and unsure,
stopped and begged to turn back.
I wanted to scoop them up
and swallow them down,
such rash emotions unbidden
rushing forward, demanding to be heard
trying to land on your heart.
Instead, they fell
into the chasm between the seconds
and were drowned in your indifference
as you deftly stepped out of the way.


Written for "PromptMaster !Open in new Window.

Prize Prompt:
The thing that lives between the seconds.
