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.

Mornings

Morning and unfocused vision,
blurred by too much day,
observes the ringing clockface
through the hope of coffee soon.

So the memory serves these icons,
once the heralds of the dawn,
but departed for the junkyard,
percolator and alarm.

Now the mornings sing of rumbling
cellphone dancing in the dark,
and the voice that hails the moment,
“Hey, Google, turn on the coffee pot!”
