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.

A lonely girl gazes through a window in a great house.


2023 Quill Nominee2023 Quill Finalist


Security

A house of stone,
secure and safe,
and she alone,
a rescued waif,
forever drawn
to gaze beyond
the spreading lawn
and sparkling pond,
to woods afar,
horizons deep,
and evening star,
her dreams to keep;
the window now
a lonely gift,
reminder how
the deepened rift
between her fear
and coddled life
is payment drear
for ended strife.
