The rules are very simple if you’d like to take part:
1) Write for no longer than five minutes;
2) No upper or lower word limits;
3) You must write something new;
4) You can prepare your post ahead of time but the 5 minute limit still applies; and
5) If you add your blog post to the weekly linky you must visit five other blogs that week too to show your support.

Why not give it a go?
Here is mine:
Friendship
Gazing up into
The eye of the silver moon
He remembers all
A small boy running
Across a field of white blooms
Chasing a red kite
He raced to catch him
Before he could grab the rope
Of the trailing tail
Summer lasted long
Warm days drifted together -
How he misses them
Life was so simple
Friendship was easy, chasing
A twisting red kite
Love the poem, Vickie. Really great imagery!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Funny thing is, I've never flown a kite. It looks fun though! :)
DeleteGreat poem, Vickie.
ReplyDeleteLove the imagery here. I think we all miss the simplicity of our earliest years at times.
Yeah, things definitely seemed simpler and the days a hell of a lot longer :)
DeleteThanks for sharing this, Vickie. It's a lovely reflection of the times we long for childhood again!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love the prompts cos they get you thinking :)
DeleteHey, for some reason I'm having trouble commenting on here..darned funky connections, lol. I really loved this, Vickie! I always look forward to your submissions...poetry is something I love and just have no talent for, so really appreciate it in others. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks JC! I love your writing style too. It stands out. It's rich and layered :)
