| A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the years following, from August 2024 to August 2025, 2025 to 2026 (provided I live that long, of course). |
| This is the first of the poems for the sixth year of Promptly Poetry Challenge 6, 2025/2026. I Remember Most people do, I know, and sometimes I am carried away, like a dandelion seed wafted on the wind, just another old fool lost in memories of elsewhere. I guess we all have our elsewheres, where childhood friends run strong and free in a land so bright and clear, forever young. Change does not sully that perfect place nor faces tire and grow old; they stay unbent and unafraid, ever green and innocent, undefiled by the tumbling years. And Iām no different, age conforming me in draining strength, life closing down as a faded store, shuttered and locked in urban decay, turned inward with no future. I am but an archive of a life not special but savoured as the light wanes, so I turn to elsewhere while dreaming of home. Line count: 24 Free verse For Promptly Poetry Challenge 6, Week 1 Prompt: Title your poem: āI Rememberā and then write a poem about a memory, real or imagined. |
| This is the last of the poems for the fifth year of Promptly Poetry Challenge 5, 2024/2025. The Place in Between The wood between the worlds, where silence reigns becalmed in shade while dreams are like the ferns unfurled and stillness cloaks pools in every glade. Just one thing moves in all that hush, a guinea pig with ribbon tied a yellow ring, thus memory returns with childhood rush, magicianās test to this place brings. Each somnolent pool beneath the trees is gateway to a different place, to terrible Charn of mortal disease, or new world waking in light and grace. The wood between the worlds, a magical land accessible only through a book, its secret is curled in Lewisā The Magicianās Nephew. Line count: 16 Rhymed abab For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 52 Prompt: Use The Place in Between as your title. |
