ReplyDeleteLasha... I tried several times to comment at your site, but was each time redirected to a file not found page.
DeleteYour poem is made up of images and instances that create a wonderful world. It made me smile!
Lasha, it wouldnt let me comment either - but you have written a poem full of images of this wonderful old planet! Love the twinkling stars!

ReplyDeleteKim,

I loved considering the possibilities for this! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your writings this week poet friends! Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteKim, I like what you say about our own unique writing voice. If you ever feel like writing more on that aspect I would love to read it. Voice is something I want to improve in my poetry. Sometimes I think "That's it! I got it down right!" and other times I feel like I fell way too short of the mark. So any pointers you have would be awesome. Not that you need more to do - ha :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy midweek poets!
Awesome prompt, Kim. I need to lie down, but I will be back later! I cant wait to read everyone's.
