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:
When was the last time
your bare feet felt the grass?
Was it when you were a child?
Or have you allowed yourself
this childlike pleasure
recently?
I did just yesterday.
Watering the flowers, weeds tickling my legs.
There’s a reason children like to take their shoes off
and run in the grass.
Do you remember?
Why not try it again?
You might like it
as much today
as you did
last time.
For a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this poem, visit today’s #31poems post.
