I just found out about this on one of my favorite blogs, and I realized I had to do it. I’ve always hated writing prompts, but this is the first time I’ve seen a poetry prompt and I thought I’d try it out. Feedback is greatly accepted since this is something new I’m doing and I’d to like to hear from other poets. I’m four days behind, I’m going to post four poems in this post and then one each day. (Unless I get behind again. Hopefully not.)
Time to
take the ashes
of our love, remnants be damned
Temporary was our loving
Temporary was our living
The void
leading to death
was like nothing, so peaceful
You knew you were going quickly
and you were too eager to slit
Sparkling so
brightly, eyes so
green there is none more lovely
mature stature so becoming
To have you, I think I would kill
Purple
bruises on skin
from man you loved hitting
you in the face and taking life
from the once lively girl you were

The Pensee is:
- a pentastich, a poem in 5 lines.
