ever we write poems #11 Nicole's prompt

flowers seize to exist anywhere with nothing of importance

ever occurring within a field of vision

recurring nightmares are normal

untied and broken rotten further complications

fall to pieces in my arms as I lie still in the green grass

on a shelf in a dark corridor

placed in sanctuary

ultimate challenge to yourself

failing by thinking this through

not asking why but continuing

undefined and everlasting in the seed that grows

forms within itself and blooms on the outside without

pain or interference resurfaces from time to tomb

ultimately it is a place to begin again

  6. Oh Pamela, This is just lovely. I'm wondering if you write stream of consciousness frequently. Your work is so distinct, I enjoy my visits here!

    I love the juxtapositioning of the dark shelf and green grass.

  14. A wonderful poem, Pamela. I especially liked the ending: "ultimately, it is a place to begin again." So very true! We can always begin AGAIN.
