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.

Daydream

Unopened lies the gift forgotten in the pile,
unopened the dream of yesterday,
unopened the source of the headwaters of the Nile,
unopened the life that’s gone away.

The spark that failed to catch the driest tinder,
the coiled spring never loosed to its unwinding,
the best intentions burnt until a cinder,
the story lost or maybe never ending.
