Written for Three Word Wednesday prompt: bump, knuckle, transfix…and in celebration with friends of mine who just announced their family will be growing. 🙂
THE BEGINNING OF EACH END…AND BACK AGAIN
sun is setting
its last rays shining
over my left shoulder
cross-legged I sit
atop a field of blue, yellow and green flowers
soft balls of fur on either side
it is not pen and paper, I use
just my laptop
sleek in its silver shininess
the only sound
my computer as it whirs
my cats as they purr
so often
it is through tears I type
water on the nightstand, a must
this is where I start
each night, the same
right here, write now
it’s the ending
that is always
different
each poem
a collection of words
transporting me somewhere new
sometimes
the path stays close
encircling my thoughts, my life
other times
I find myself wordling my way
into stories that once upon a time did not exist
each “write now”
expands my horizon
forever influencing my “right here”
sun is setting
its last rays shining
over my left shoulder

This poem began as a “write here, now” poem for part one of a prompt offered by We Write Poems prompt #59, provided by Pamela Sayers. The following week (prompt #60) asked us to venture out a bit further — to go beyond the “write here”. I extended my original poem (describing where I write) to reflect a bit of where I go with my words.
