Book of poems written for the second and third years of the Promptly Poetry Challenge.

2023 Quill Nominee


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.

Interior view of table and chair,


Home 3

We built our house on the edge,
a layer cake of logs like books on a shelf
stacked under a steaming cup for a chimney.

On the far side of the mesa a rose tree grew,
tall and holding its blossoms to the sun
that hovered above in perpetual noon.

In the distance we could see Mount Ease,
so called for its resemblance to a chair
with a band of blue tuff for a pillow.

Square clouds floated in the unchanging sky,
holding images of a dreamscape,
the fruits of our labours on the carpet below.
