when I think we write poems #12 yesterday today tomorrow

yesterday carnage filled the vestibule
no way to navigate through it to theorize
as bitter feelings foster scorn
today envelopes hope that utters
serenity that may expunge
with well-crafted precision
tomorrow you will guess and keep
flurry hanging over appreciation
with replicated heat inside

    Erm...did you mean 'flurry' or 'fury' in the next to last line? I have to admit flurry bothered me...

    Pamela, you always have an interesting take on the prompt. I enjoy visits to your blog. In this poem, I like that today envelopes hope that utters serenity. Today really is all that we have.

    This said to me 'Today's hope is that tomorrow we don't repeat the mistakes of yesterday'

    why is it, do you think, that yesterday--even when it's horrible--is usually more interesting than the rest

    it is my honor to meet your wonderful poetry.

    Vestibule has always been one of my favorite words.

    I like you very much already!!
