It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on.
Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory.
I will read each piece thoroughly.
Please tag me after you have entered.
Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves.
*Everyone will receive a review.
I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors.
*These reviews are my opinion.
Thank you and have fun!

space.
when music is played, the music is not made of notes
but the spaces between them
a resonance gone unmarked, reverberations felt impermanently
space is not made of empty dark blues
it is made of the spaces between stars when you look at them
you are not grateful for the light you see, you are grateful for the space between them
a painting isn't made of colors
it is made of the space between one color and another
we measure beauty on the notion of emptiness between parts
if these are all true,
how foolish are we to believe
we are anything but the spaces between us
