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.
The fields of the past,
dark with the sun departed,
still tilled as these moments last,
the old reaping what they started.
The present a teeming city,
habitat now of the young,
ever bright and oh so pretty,
before the instant turns to dung.
Eyes are turning now in hope
to the future yet unborn,
to better times our hands do grope;
pray our dreams are not forlorn.
