The Prompt
The prompt for today was to write the first line of different poems. Maybe I’ll revisit them and flesh them out.
The First Lines
- tears poured when I saw that glitter of a ghost
- 50 pounds of extra mass
- smiles, simultaneous with a supernova of grief
- was it all a mistake pulling up roots
- life speeds by at the pace
of a snail and a rat in turn
Processing
Are any of these good first lines? Which full poem should I write from these starts? What poem would you write from the starts?
Enjoy what you’ve read and want to support my art business?

Buy me a brew!
If we were together, and I read you my poem, you might want to buy me a brew. Coffee at a shop is $5. A beer at a pub is $8. Any amount would be appreciated and well used! And let’s continue the conversation! Share your thoughts in the comments!
