Prompt 109: Avatar

Thanks to Beth Patterson of Virtual Tea House for this week's prompt, avatar. Thanks, Beth for the poem and for providing the image!



I can imagine of no other avatar than this:

To be one of Mary Oliver’s wild geese.

With the moon in one eye

And the howl in my down

I challenge you to distinguish me

from a poet.

Or Maxfield Parrish.

A note from Beth Patterson, who is host and blogger at the Virtual Tea House (VTH): There are several writers who blog on that site, and she’s invited them to write to this week’s prompt, ‘avatar’. The ones who responded will be part of her post for this prompt. In general, when you are responding on the VTH to the poems submitted by any of the poets that you make sure which one is the author before you address them. Thanks!

Prompt 108: Aura

Shaddrha of The Self-Love Project offers this week's prompt, aura. Thanks for this and for your poem, Shaddrha. Pelease visit her blog for the back story to this piece.

I still believe
In spite of the illusions around
In spite of the lies spread
I still believe
Most of it is fake
Just to mock and fool
Confuse
Scare
Project your fears
But I still believe
There is some aura for real
I still believe
Me, the lowest of low
Me, who can be joked at, laughed at and fooled
Me, who is not sure if i am free
I still believe

Prompt 106: Hesitation

Thanks to Nathalie of A Title? What's in a Title? I Was Never Told There Should be a Title! for this week's prompt, hesitation. Here is her wonderful poem:

We glide
Opposites yet bound
A few steps this way
Or the other
On tip toe
Ready to fly off
To depart from that dance
That is courting
Hesitation.
