It's been a while since I've done a poem...




Clearing Thoughts



 


FSF prompt image: http://lilliemcferrin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_5606-1024x768.jpg







Rain passes;

Rocks glisten,

Dappled in sunlight.



Leaves twirl;

Winds rush

Across my face.



Clouds race;

Vapors entwine

Misty cotton jets.



Shadows fade;

Colors change

From gray to blue.



Rainbows sparkle;

Earth awakens,

Stretching to the horizon.








I'm not exactly sure you'd call these sentences, but that's the way it is! And there are five of them!

      Thanks for commenting! I have to mix it up now and then, and it's been too long since I posted a poem.

    I like this a lot.
    I reread it again and again trying to decide which was my favourite stanza, then I realized I don't have to... I can just enjoy it whole.

      A writer cannot ask for anything more than to create something that people wish to read more than once. Thanks!

As the platform has grown, we noticed a shift in the quality of content and engagement on the site which took us further away from this mission. Over the past few months, our small team has spent countless hours and resources defending the site from bad actors focused on driving spam and bot traffic. (If you’ve been with us for a while, you understand the bumps in the road and we can’t thank you enough for sticking with us!)   It’s time we bring our focus back to creating a social platform that allows creators to share high-quality writing with an engaged audience.    We’ve spoken to hundreds of you...
