The Poet in Me

Posted on May 5, 2021 by Mary (tqhousecat)

Must we contend
Word to word
Rhyme to rhyme
Sword to sword

Can we be friends
End this game
Confess a candle
Needs a flame
Without either
No one would see

A pigment of imagination
Is your denial of reality
I need you
As you need me

Dversepoets.com Tuesday prompt Ingrid wants us to write in narrative Voice using a fictional character. Not sure if this is quite what she means. More what I keep calling a fictional character? You decide.

    I enjoyed your fictional conversation with ‘the poet in you,’ Mary – your Muse, perhaps? I love the phrase ‘A pigment of imagination’ 🙂
