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.

Choices

Like tree roots,
the future takes its possibilities,
endlessly bifurcating,
twisting, bending, spreading,
into the darkness of what might never be,
or wished for anything but,
and we are left with choices
slipping through our hands,
so many different paths,
no light upon the way,
but choose, decide,
fate prepares the new,
and blind we stumble forward,
onward to the end.
