Writing Prompt: Poetry

Writing Prompt: Try your hand at writing a haiku or diamanté poem.

Neurodivergent

Need prompts to brush teeth.
Rewear socks days in a row.
Yet master many words.

Resilience (Sisyphus Tale)

Push to overcome
Fight temptation to give up
I can’t no option.


Mom’s recent poetry:


Patience


The last virtue to appear

Deep breathing brings it near

Physically slows the heart

Delays a hasty start.

Calms the high anxiety

Of what could be

Versus doing what one can.


And standing calm

For life’s inevitable stress

Not careless

But saying privately

One can handle whatever

Is to be.



Macro-Micro

I read recently in some place

An astounding idea of outer space:

The possibility of many universes linked

In ways beyond my ken I think.


So since I live in this changing time

Where all expands beyond my mind

Why do I continue to insist

On my own importance in this mist?


A teeny,tiny spec of sand

Insignificant

Yet to myself so grand

Logic will not answer this

The senselessness

Of the abyss.
