Prompt 61: Word

Jeeves of Silence is Poetic offers word as this week's prompt. Here are her poem and image. Thank you, Jeeves!


This is how it should be
Relationship at distance
and unsaid words imagined
Like, I sit here and think
The words you say
With your morning yawn
This is how it should be
Intriguing moments, few unsaid words
And many imagined ones

Prompt 59: Live Water

Thanks to Sue of Sunflower Roots for this week's prompt, live water. Thanks to he for supplying this poem and photo, too.

Live Water

the creek flute dances
a natural accompaniment
‘neath work and sleep;
its liquid silver ballet
skips stones, bends grasses,
to wind slender fingers
through my day;
live water
embraces the hours
with subliminal music.

In Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (Bantam Books 1974), poet Annie Dillard writes “Live water heals memories.” It is from Dillard that I first learned how to view the world through both the eyes of a naturalist and a poet. This book is a treasure to be savored, the perfect accompaniment to a summer’s day, especially one spent near creeks and woods.

Prompt 58: Listening

Thanks to Laurie at April Wine for this week's prompt, listening. Thanks for sharing this poem and image with us, too.Sound of my own footsteps
Hitting sand on pavement
A cardinal’s call
The click of a camera
School bus passing
Truly listening
To the sounds surrounding me
Listening to the quiet
But not quiet
As I listen, I hear many birds
I am alone but not alone
For the birds are singing their song
Their praises for a beautiful day
Spring is on the way
Just listen
