2009 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 27
Posted by Robert
For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem involving a shape (or multiple shapes). You can make the shape the title of your poem, or you can work the shapes into the actual poem in some way. There are two dimensional shapes, of course, like squares and circles, but don't forget some of the other shapes available out there: horseshoes, coffee cups, houses, etc. After all, some objects become so iconic that they actually are considered shapes unto themselves.
Here's my attempt for the day:
"Crescent Moon"
What new slice of the sun might
we see reflected tonight through
spidery ghosts floating across
the atmosphere? We fear those
nights it disappears completely.
Complete me: Burn into me as if
I am some lonely, stranded satellite
watching a planet build and re-build
itself. You've always been the sun;
my only wish is to reflect your light.
