—–The Resulting Poem from today’s round—–
The hours erased the stars and day peeled apart from night
a dawning appeared from the aftermath of apartheid.
The fleeting memory of times shared, now a part of me erased
save ghosts and their imparting, which leave my thoughts defaced.
Woo hoo! Great work Joel and Jennifer, and well done also to Lex of Inkiebird and Shawn Bird of her self-titled blog for writing their own poems from the prompt. Thanks for playing– hope you had fun!
Here at The Read Room we’ve been celebrating National Poetry Month with a series of interactive poems written by YOU, the readers! I supply the prompt and you guys do the rest — just comment below and play off the lines before you!
Today’s prompt is Must use the word “part”. Use it however you will: hair part, a part of ~, partition, party, apart, parting, impart, partial, etc. etc. Anything will do. Surprise us!
…And if you can’t figure out how to use part, there’s always the old fallback “pants”.
Here is your first line. Drum roll, please!
The hours erased the stars and day peeled apart from night
The fleeting memory of times shared, now a part of me erased
