This
blog is devoted to a select group of poets. We're starting with poets
from the Ann Arbor area, but, hey, if you're from Detroit, Grand Rapids,
Saginaw or the Upper Peninsula, then that is okay, too.
Today's poem or short story prompt is the word "mountains".
Our goal is to
provide you with a prompt every day from which you are to garner
inspiration and submit a poem. How to submit will be very easy. Just
put your poem or short story in the comments section and hit post. You
may not immediately see your post, but it is there under the "Comments"
section. You may need to click on "Comments" to see your poem. It is
there on another page.
You may need to
have a Gmail account to post in the comments section. Most of you do
have Gmail, but for those of you that don't it's extremely worthwhile to
open up one now! That way you've got a chance to get your work out
there in the world.
DREAMS
ReplyDeletea small flower blooms
high in the mountains of Tibet
at the wrong time of year
in an environment in which
it cannot survive
a small flower blooms
in the crack between two bricks
too late in fall
in the driveway they parked the car
after the shooting
a small flower blooms
between dreams and nightmares
just before i wake up.
When i open my eyes
it's gone.
