Prompt
Today’s prompt was to write five (5) short poems throughout the day, to challenge the idea that it has to take a lot of energy to create. We were to title them with the time and location. I added a bit of context too.
The Poems
11:35, work desk, indigo bunting
a flash of blue
through the window
bright, vivid, fast
not blue
indigo
17:51, work desk, spilt pen bag
I look into the cavern and
oh shit!
I spilt the ink!
pens strewn asunder
glad it’s not a leak
18:49, Bubo’s room, Bubo
she’s a beauty
but can’t be with her siblings
anxiety
territoriality
so we visit
a snuggle here and there
stolen and shared
throughout the day
19:29, art studio, Blondie
blast from the past
heard for the first time
funny how you don’t
hear things
the first time
then they’re gone
but the echo remains
22:22, work desk, The Goonies R Good Enough
blast from the past
new to me
we need more
ridiculousness
in the world
