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.

Clues to Existence

René Descartes once said,
“I think, therefore I am.”
Now quiet as a clam,
no thinking from the dead.

Some say that, if we be,
the result is we do,
or to do is to be,
or do be do be do.

Also, if you ask me,
and to answer I’m free,
I would like to please you
but I haven’t a clue.
