 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. |
| Time Running Out My neighbour shifts, uneasy, he moves a step away, a tremor passes underground, we all begin to sway. The earth is moving underfoot, it’s running like a stream; I cannot hold, am forced to roll, our multitude it teems. The centre drags us inward, we’re drowning in the press, the undertow grows stronger, increases our distress. Now through darkness down we fall, a hurtling, struggling mass, and then in space descending, the sands in hourglass. Line count: 16 Rhymed abcb For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 39 2023, and First and Second Chance Poetry Contest, June 2025 Prompt: Your poem should be inspired by this phrase: "time running out.” You do not need to use the phrase, but you may if you like. Poems should be at least 12 lines long, no max. Feel free to use any poetry form you like or just wing it with free verse! |
