I’m declaring it short poetry week…why, you ask? Well because my Internet service is changing over and I have to type on my phone. I’m thinking that’s a good reason, so without further ado, forgive my clumsiness at this particular art form.
I feel moments lost
as the dark creeps in early
summer wanes in evening
Black birds gather there
against a darkening sky
fall looms at the door
Short is the Word

Nice!
Thanks. ..I’m a little out of my element but maybe it’s good to challenge ourselves from time to time ๐
Yes I agree! Have a great night my friend! Cheryl
You too!
They say that less is more difficult than more. I like it either way. Hope your internet service gets changed quickly. Blogging on the phone can be difficult.
I think I’m going to start a union: Phone Bloggers United ..
Or maybe a help group…
Nice, i really like short poetry, meter and rhythm structure of long poetry has me stumped sometimes lol its seems so daunting and complex ๐
I’ve been getting some good practice in…I’m starting to like it too, ha ha! Thanks for visiting and following my blog. ๐
I love this…very effective. I think when I opt for ‘short,’ it’s much more effective. There’s something enticing about what isn’t said. I think that makes sense.
Thanks, I agree. Many short works leave a lot to the imagination. I used to be adamant about writing longer short stories but flash fiction is starting to appeal to me ๐
I’ll admit to never having heard of ‘flash fiction,’ until now.
stunning photo and great words…i love fall and all of it’s whimsical changes…
Thanks! I love fall and spring. .If we could have those two seasons all the time it would suit me fine.
