I'm not sure why this old memory popped up today. Perhaps it was prompted by the few poems I've read here so far. Back later to read more.

This #PromptCombo #ThisPoem is bringing out my whimsical side, so here's an older one of mine from my drafts. I rarely rhyme but thought this one might be fun to read out loud. I hear it in the voice of Craig Charles.

Luckily for me I had written a wee poem about the North Star a short time ago. I just had to find it again! Written to a picture prompt, I hope it works without it too.

I can honestly say this is the only poem I've written of this nature, not quite sure what I was on at the time. It was early in the Covid pandemic, if that had a bearing?

Back to read more posts later.

An old poem of mine that I can't exactly say where it came from and I'm still not sure what it means for me. It was inspired by "The Room" by Kevin Hart, the Anglo-Australian poet-theologian, not the US comedian.

This strange offering is aiming to be a metaphorical piece, about aging if that's not obvious. It's literal too and experimental for me.

The cold and damp weather is getting into my joints.

THINKING ABOUT TURNER

There I was
strapped to a mast
paintbrush in hand
trying to capture
the power of a storm
as the wind rushed
brushing my face
only a madman
would go to such lengths
but I am man
whose passion for art
runs deep

A rushed #PromptCombo this week as I will be busy. My task is #Storm , my starter for 10 below. Thank you for last week Vic ❤️.

Sigh of the spirits
through pine branches.
A strew of the year’s
dulled palm parchment
on dry grass. Prayer flags
cigar-wrapped on the thigh
of a spent morning breeze.
