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.

Forgiveness

Forgive and forget, I’ve heard it said,
and pardon is for giving,
a second chance before you’re dead
and freedom for the living.

Harder to say what you receive
if forgetting is for getting,
to lose the deed that did aggrieve
seems reckless and abetting.
