Help–I’ve fallen and I can’t get up! That’s how I feel with my lag in this challenge. Ha ha. I won’t skip ahead though. Today’s assignment was poetry; a form I haven’t done in about 15ish years or so. It was fun to get back into that groove.
Assignment: Write an excerpt in verse and not prose. You can write on any topic you want, just please don’t use curse words in your poetry if you are posting in the Facebook group. Don’t shrug off this assignment with the excuse, “I’m not a poet.” I know, you’re a writer, but writers write poetry too. Give it a try and don’t over think this. There is no “wrong” poem.

Trapped
In my mind, locked away
Buried in heart, hidden in soul
Words, thoughts, ideas
Tangents from here
Lessons from there
Sheer brilliance! at least to me
What’s the point of thinking if thoughts stay bottled up inside?
Imaginary label: “do not disturb”
“Contents under pressure”
Yet one nudge, one poke
The vessel may shatter
Why wait for special occasion?
Take advantage of full flavour, aroma, effect
Best used before expiration date
In its prime
Ideas, thoughts, words
Clawed from heart, found in soul
Given life with pen to paper, fingers to keys
Free

I like this. I may have to do a Write It, Girl crossover today.
