 Poems for years 4, 5 and 6 of the Promptly Poetry Challenge. |
| A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the years following, from August 2024 to August 2025, 2025 to 2026 (provided I live that long, of course). |
| This is the first of the poems for the sixth year of Promptly Poetry Challenge 6, 2025/2026. I Remember Most people do, I know, and sometimes I am carried away, like a dandelion seed wafted on the wind, just another old fool lost in memories of elsewhere. I guess we all have our elsewheres, where childhood friends run strong and free in a land so bright and clear, forever young. Change does not sully that perfect place nor faces tire and grow old; they stay unbent and unafraid, ever green and innocent, undefiled by the tumbling years. And I’m no different, age conforming me in draining strength, life closing down as a faded store, shuttered and locked in urban decay, turned inward with no future. I am but an archive of a life not special but savoured as the light wanes, so I turn to elsewhere while dreaming of home. Line count: 24 Free verse For Promptly Poetry Challenge 6, Week 1 Prompt: Title your poem: “I Remember” and then write a poem about a memory, real or imagined. |
