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.

Trees reaching for the light.


Saplings

Come thou now, my little sprigs,
though thee no more than tiny twigs,
upward now thou must aspire
to mount up ever higher and higher.

The sun above will draw thee on,
his light thy leaves will shine upon,
and tall thy crown in upper air
to drink thou from its favours fair.

Ramrod straight, go seek blue sky
on high where mighty eagles fly,
lofty now thy ambition’s goal,
felled and made a telegraph pole.
