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.

Luck

Once I heard it said by some buck
that he would have no truck with luck;
“That impostor,” he swore,
“is no more than a bore
and why else am I always stuck

with the bad kind and left in the muck?”
I agreed and told him it sucked,
good is kept for the rich,
life’s no more than a bitch,
and we are the ones that get plucked.
