Hello!
My prompt was: today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that responds, in some way, to another.
I went onto Instagram and looked up ‘#poetry’. The below was the one that spoke to me first
here’s my reply:
Maybe the rhythm
still soothes that part of you
sick with responsibility.
Maybe my warmth
can quash your frantic thoughts
for another year.
Maybe the fact I’m still willing
to sit and listen –
ignore all the ‘pressing’ stuff,
just feel your growing body
sag a little
into these aging arms –
means quite a lot to you.
Maybe, no matter how hard it gets,
I’ll gain strength from the trust in your eyes.
It’s another late posting I’m afraid, sorry! April always ends up being such a busy month 😉
Take care and I’ll catch you for Day 24 tomorrow 😉

As I said before, you are getting very good at writing these poems and I like this one, too
