MAGPIE/ Prompt #81


                                                       Photo/ Tess Kincaid

 
SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO REJOIN Magpie/ Prompt #81  Hope to stay a while...thank you Tess, for the inspiration!

 
FOR WHOM?

To what purpose
are the crushed left to be observed,
for whom is this lesson?

I prefer that all archaic,
useless geometry,
be blown away.

Why stop to examine the broken,
as if we can see the heart
in each stone?

Sooner to dust
rather than later,

a flow of breath can free me
from watching decay
go on.

    I love these line -
    why stop to examine the broken/as if we can see the heart in each stone...
    and emphatise with the sentiment of the poems last lines - a flow of breath can free me/from watching decay go on.

    Wonderful take on the prompt. It is sad when things are left to rot and decay.

    spring comes with beautiful energy and blossom of life, winter is hard to pass by, but it makes life moving and more meaningful.
