I LIKE THE PROMPTS put out by Poet's and Writer's Magazine. Today...browse through your collection of photos, choose an image and write a poem inspired by it. Being an Aries, to me that means, "NOW"! And finish it immediately. My DNA demands it. Why not try it?
DRUMBEAT
Remember when I was more
than a silhouette,
not yet a specter?
You'd call my name
and I'd come to you.
Suddenly there'd be heat in the room,
we knew where it was going.
The walls
accompanied our sighs
with a drumbeat,
a hit song once again, perfect.
From that wired dimension
I danced along the divides,
enclosed by trickery,
not suspicious
that I had started to sift,
so unaware that my home
had always been an hourglass.

That is about as good a definition of creativity as I have seen in a long time.
Nicely done. Photos often prompt words from me as well, especially haiku.
If you like photo prompts, I have one every week and everyone is welcome to join in the fun: Monday Morning Photo Prompt
