Homework 17 February 2020.

Post by Neville Briggs » Mon Feb 03, 2020 4:18 pm

I turned the prompt around from poetry of sound to sound of poetry.



SOUND OF POETRY

Sound of passion that burns
Sound of memories that last

Sound of life that is lived
Sound of time that goes past

Sound of singing not sung
Sound of tracks where we tread

Sound of words on a page
Sound of thoughts not quite said.

Nothing is set in concrete and people are more than welcome to change the prompts around a bit to suit their writing - I do it all the time as well. I love what you have done here Neville and changing the prompt around worked well in this piece. I agree with Shelley

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.
