—–The Resulting Poem from today’s prompt, Return & Repeat—–
The crash of ivory into a thousand pieces
Was the result of minds crashing at right angles
Minds that jangled with a cacophony of thought
Thought in nails, sirens, screeching brakes
Nails our Fathers purchased for our deeds
A hearty thank you to Tony Espino, Lilith Colbert, and Sahm King for contributing! Well done!
In today’s poetry prompt, Return and Repeat, players create lines that include at least one word from the previous line.
—–EXAMPLE—–
On Tuesday the storm was brewing
The brew was a nasty wash
but nothing could wash the dust
of nothingness caked to the roof.
And so on. Contribute as many lines as you like, but try to follow the prompt and play off of the comment before you! I’ll compile the full poem when the day is done.
In the meantime, here’s the real-deal first line to get you rolling:
The crash of ivory into a thousand pieces
What’s the word?
