And last but not least, here’s today’s optional prompt. In “Ocean,” Robinson Jeffers delivers an almost oracular, scriptural description of the sea not just as a geographical phenomenon, but a sort of being – old, wise, profound, and able to teach those who want to learn. Today, try writing a poem in which you describe something that cannot speak, and what it has taught or told you.
Happy writing!
Thank you for visiting and for your lovely comments.
Arti, this is beautiful... so attentive and quietly wise. I loved “despite thunder, / despite war,” and the ending’s idea of reflecting without clinging. Such a tender, thoughtful piece.

ReplyDeleteA wonderfully metaphoric piece, Arti... I really liked "Like it started, it will end - water will vapour - and I will too"... YAM xx
Thank you :)
