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.

Bagpipes

Bagpipes make me cry,
indeed I know not why;
it’s not because I hate
their sound or cos it grates.

The truth is I just love
the drones that rise above,
their voice so wild and high
from glen unto the sky.

‘Tis British pride that drives
the teardrops from my eyes,
it’s pleasure in the sigh
and guilt since boys don’t cry.



Line count: 12
Rhymed couplets
For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 7
Prompt: A guilty pleasure.
