Today's prompt was to write a poem that begins with a 'command' verb.
Quotidian
Look, today is the same as every other day.
Honeydew dawn light, the sun
a mere rind in the sky.
Dust motes float in the minutes,
pixelate the hours into blurry humdrum.
The clock ticks on relentless.
Today is blanched yellow, like a bruise.
Tomorrow grey, faltering.
And the moon, the moon will not show
her face for fear a thumb
will smudge her out of sky
and into dark forgetting.
Hi Siobhán! I've been following your A Poem a Day blog for a while now-- years, in fact-- and I just want you to know how happy I was to have stumbled onto it. Thank you for the words and thank you for sharing. <3
