W3 Prompt #108: Wea’ve Written Weekly: What’s This?

Written for The Skeptic’s Kaddish writing challenge posted on May 22, 2024
where the PoM is Suzanne. (thanks for the lovely prompt, Suzanne).

Okie dokie ~ Let’s do this thing!

I. The prompt poem:

‘Where is hope?’, a poem by Suzanne Brace

II. Suzanne’s prompt guidelines

  • Compose a poem that conveys ‘Movement’, using repetition to move your
    ideas and imagery forward.
    • You may use repetition in many different ways – repeating sounds,
      syllables, words, phrases, lines, etc.

You know the one I mean…
this one…

Thanks for reading… I hope you felt the movement in this post.

    Wow! Selma, this is wonderful! I love the breathless questioning, the repetition which propels the reader forwards, wondering what is happening. The sense of joy building, the expectation of happiness so real. A superb ending and yes, hope that our ordinary towns and villages can be just so! 😀❤️

    Uhm I am a *huge* Nightmare Before Christmas fan. I recognized the lyrics immediately. So, thank you for that fun.🤩

    I enjoyed going along for your very animated poem. I think these lines were my favorite:

    “There’s a good feeling all around
    not one nightmare could be found
    among the cozy things”

      I also enjoyed your post. Very informative. History. Wow.

        😂No. Not like a blowfish. I meant I was puffed, breathless with the pace of your poem. It’s a compliment ( I hope).
