This week’s Poetry Friday entry are the terrific poems from yesterday photopoetry of 15 words or less. Here was the picture:
And here are the poems
Tethered Lives
cornflakes and scales
hay bales
rabbit trails
bone rails –
we live in chains.
— Allen Taylor
@WorldClassPoet
Don’t know what it’s for
But over by the door
Hole there in the floor
— slatts
Break through.
Peer
Into the Darkness.
Or climb in
And find out what’s really there.
— Becky Levine
Trust, Adventure, Imagination
No one knows
what’s inside a hole,
emptiness
or a world of
jabberwockies
and hobbits.
— Diane M. Davis
CRAZY ARITHMETIC
one minuscule crack
+
one infinitesimal drop of moisture
+
one process of oxidization
=
one unexpected delight
— Diane Mayr
Sunburn
Dry peeling skin
made him groan
low and eerie
like midnight’s moan.
— Cindyb
Aim for the next
level–
Ready?
Set?
Leap!
— Kathy Q.

If Willy Loman Had a Sex Change
Death of a Suburban Mother and Saleswoman, circa 1950s
That iron did
me no good
I threw it
down
Done
To hell with
you
— Pamela Ross
Never listen to sixth grade kids –
“Put your nose here,”
they said.
Sucked in!
— Susan Stephenson
Fix – now please
For you never know
how big I will become
Maybe eternal ugliness
— Anne McKenna
poetry friday
I’m new on LJ and just starting to network with the other writers here. This is the first time I’ve seen your poetry friday. I love the idea and am totally impressed with the resulting poems. I write more prose than poetry but just might have to give it a try sometime.
Re: poetry friday
Welcome to LJ and the world of Poetry Friday. I have the photopoetry prompt up for this week. (Next week it goes back to Laura.)
Lots of prose writers try it. It’s such a fun warm-up.
Thanks for taking on the 15 Words or Less Poems. We get by with a little help from our friends, yes?
🙂
We do…we all can use help from a friend every once in a while. 🙂
