I am not sure what my thoughts were when I created this prompt. Maybe it is about giving and receiving, or don't wait for the other person if you want or need something. Or maybe it is all about love, and how rare it can be that if and when it shows up in your life, to take a chance, go for it, don't hold back. You never know what good may come of it.
It's been a long, tiring month and we are in our last week; in our final stretch. Are your words dancing?

ReplyDeleteHere's mine. The triquain was a fun form to use for the first time today.

DeleteCan a joke be a (short) poem? https://unassortedstories.wordpress.com/2018/10/25/nerved/ #OctPoWriMo day 25

ReplyDeleteFirst try at a triquain: A Spectrum of Passions
ReplyDeleteLet your you flag fly!
DeleteAh think I wrote this for an older prompt. But wasn't able to find the time to finish it on that day. I am glad to have found OctPoWriMo. I haven't managed to write everyday but I have atleast pondered on the prompts for most days.
ReplyDeleteWithout any more words, here is my offering for today
Piranha Quicksand @ Namysaysso
Guilt served up, poem with some slap, for sure
DeleteHere is my take on the prompt. Please enjoy The Door
ReplyDeleteNice one Rod

ReplyDeleteDon't look now but today's prompt did provoke something rather grotesque and visceral... I know, I know, big surprise. Usual warnings ("not for the squeamish") apply, though I do congratulate myself for staying rather tame throughout... tame by my standards, anyway.
ReplyDeleteTitle: "Downpour"

Loved this form! Here's my poem for today.
ReplyDeleteWhat Once Was
Door goes both ways ....
ReplyDeleteWhat struck me is the balance in any relationship and human behavior. Some people are natural givers, some are incessant takers and most of the humanity falls in between those two extremes. To most part , extremes of both natures elicit difficulties , unrest and
disappointments... and thus moderation may be a happy medium... we are supposed to be taking from the society and should be giving back too ..
Accounts
A giver
More Often a taker
And everyone in between
World in between the giver and taker
With accountant ultimate
Pristine account
True giver
Miniscule
Life of a bubble
Fleeting on floating hand
Flow of transactions transpired actions
Exiting world empty handed
Self balance sheets
Legacy... sr
