your house writer's island #30 peerless

Eminent…
Façades built by you.
Nothing equal to what you,
say or do.
To be perfect like that in
all aspects, trying to fit
boulders through the eye
of a newt.
Never happens …
Attempting to catch
sand that flows in an hourglass.
With filters in fingers.
Pouring through small openings.
Beyond, above comparisons
you fascinate me,
Watching you twirl the world round
a room in perfect
unison never missing a step.
Peerless, my heart flows freely,
to the melodic tunes.

  1. Bravo, Pamela: it never occurred to me to look at this as an opportunity for romantic poetry. I like it.

  2. Thanks Viv, I am trying to get away from some of the darkness I write. I am struggling with PAD prompt today. Once finished I will visit writer's
    island. Have a nice weekend.

  3. Interesting take on the prompt and a nice write. Loved this for its sheer audacity:

    ...trying to fit
    boulders through the eye
    of a newt.

  11. Just a beautiful take on the prompt, Pamela. And some very effective phrasings, such as:

    "Watching you twirl the world round
    a room in perfect
    unison never missing a step."

    I passed on the prompt this week. Nothing came to mind, and I accepted that!

  14. Mary,
    Thanks and I looked for a poem by you to this prompt and saw that you hadn't written one.
    Sometimes the words don't come.

    Cheers :)
