#1

i am a correlation of soft blended colours

bleeding over a white surface, overthrowing

tabula rasa's strange, muted tyranny

pushed forward

only by time's delicate sway as it reaches out

fingers like tiny galaxies to touch gravity,

whose slender back is forever turned, a stubborn

orpheus, and i am eurydice, woven chains of

bright winking sunflowers binding me to him,

as i am dragged along, fated to float through

time's gray-static sea, or to drown in hissing darkness,

to disappear completely.

I want to start off the prompts with something simple and fun. So write a poem about whatever you're doing right now, or something you did today that had any sort of impact on you - whether it made you laugh or cry or stare in awkward horror. Send me poems, people! I figure I'll also post prompts if anybody actually writes them.
