'Gold'

And another response to prompt #38 from Poetic Bloomings:

‘Gold’

Not

All gold

Needs to be

Rushed,

Your day

Will come to

Harvest

The sparkling

grains of life’s

Riches,

It will,

In good time.

(Not all gold needs to be rushed - a one-line poem by Paula, photo prompt #37.)

'Cooled'

Another response to the writing challenge from Poetic Bloomings (prompt #38):

‘Cooled’

Her love was running deep,

Brewing - slow, but steady -

Like an underwater volcano.

His was all flames and sparks,

And just as quickly cooled,               

And reduced to ashes of silver.

She will forever yearn,

Burning low and lonely,

For the untamed fire they could have shared.

(The line And just as quickly cooled was taken from a poem ‘Come-to-life’ by Barbara, photo prompt #37.)

'Ungraceful Love'

This week's challenge from Poetic Bloomings - "HEY...THAT'S MY LINE!" - is to take a line from a poem by a fellow PB poet, and use it as a title/part of a new poem of your own.  It's proving to be lots of fun!

Here's my first attempt:



‘Ungraceful Love’

I tear to shreds my peaceful existence,
I create storms with hot angry tears,
Suffocating in harmony,
I long to see you rising
In your primal glory,
A bubbling, bumbling
Ungraceful love,
But the tide
Is low.
Calm.


(The line ‘A bubbling, bumbling ungraceful love’ is taken from the poem ‘Bubbling up’ by Kimiko Martinez, photo prompt #37.)
