I’m stuck on pause, I’ve clicked mute –
but I wish I could create a sentence as soft
and pure and proper as falling snow,
blanket everything with magic frost,
and fling this drab world down-
and turn upright: and birds would fly back and not away,
homes and jobs would return and disease wouldn’t sicken,
And we’d all be driven to love and not hate.
I pray these sentences could spring to life ~
let’s drop pretty words like little crumbs
to guide the way.

I did a little tour of London for you and picked out some 3 word combos. All you have to do is choose one of them, write a poem (3 – 12 lines long), and link it up as usual.
The words I chose for word prompts are frost, driven, and proper. The location of these words is Penguin Beach.

I feel the same way. You express this in a visceral manner, and I wish as well that your sentences here could come to life and take away the pain that was caused to the world. Such a brilliant and poignant piece, it’s beautifully penned and emotional to me. Excellent writing and take on the prompt. ❤
Thanks so much! It took me a while to find these right words. It’s funny how I just had to stop thinking and write what came next inherently, I think words do guide us! 🙂
Delicately drawn. I certainly connect with this piece. I particularly liked the dropping of crumbs, which took me straight into fairytale territory. Lovely writing.
Thanks! I had fun with this.
Perhaps our words will guide the way in the long run – I hope so!
Yes, maybe positive thinking will return. So much negativity now. Thanks!
Oh how I love every bit of this positivity. May it be so!
Thanks! 🙏🏻 and cheers! 🍷
Beautifully written
Thanks! 🍷
It seems like our lives are on hold in some sense, still, I have learned more about myself working from home than I ever thought I would…
Haha! Hopefully you are a nice co-worker for yourself. I think I am growing this year, it’s not all bad. Cheers 🍷
beautiful expressed and a touching poem
Thanks so much 🥰
Truly you are welcome Tricia! I shall return and feast on muse again!
💖 anytime
Oh my aching heart this is beautiful! 💝💝
Thanks so much ♥️
I wish for those words too, blanket everything with magic frost. But crumbs are fine too as it can lead the way.
Yes, the ground is getting lots of action in this piece, haha! Thanks for reading! 🙂
