 Book of poems written for the second and third years of the Promptly Poetry Challenge. |
 Poems written for Promptly Poetry Years Two and Three. Year three is four poems short of being complete but, having reached 100, I have run out of room in this book for the last few of 2023. This overflow will be consigned to the previous collection of Promptly poems, named Promptly Poetry. |
| Candlelight Oh, candlelight, bright speck rigid upright in the draughtless dark, hero of a million romantic dinners, saviour in a multitude of power cuts, icon of an eerie, nightmare Halloween, beacon of a hundred Scrooges led to bed, trendy, fat and flavoured emblem of the New Age, so, even now, your dated, homely essence haunts our modern dreams of night, and I am left without inspiration on some new, unremarked aspect of your being. ‘Cept maybe this, a sudden thought, olfactory memory to the rescue, as I terminate your tiny flame - and there it is, so familiar to us all, that burnt smell of the smoke that is your death. Line count: 16 Free verse For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 27 2023 Prompt: Candlelight. |
