Every day in October, I’m sharing poetry-writing inspiration, exercises, and prompts on jordanelisheva.com for the #31poems challenge. This is the poem I wrote in response to today’s prompt:
listen!
secretive, mysterious
approaching, murmuring, speaking
only wind in leaves?
no…
look!
usual, mundane
strolling, wandering, exercising
just a normal walk?
hesitate…
feel!
moist, breezy
misting, breathing, caressing
something here I missed?
yes…
smell!
wet, fresh
rejuvenating, growing, living
may I have it?
perhaps…
taste!
pleasant, enticing
taking, consuming, digesting
absorbing the given missive!
ponder…
“…you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.” 1 Peter 2:3
