42 Day Five

Jane Dougherty has come up with a theme for May . It is 42, now Jane describes it thus: “42 after Douglas Adams’ answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. The form is like the Cherita in its structure with a bit of added interest. The first line/stanza asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.”

What’s the point?

Why try it’s easier to die

Or even smoke a joint

They won’t miss me if I’m gone

There is no point in going on

Me, a half remembered song.

Sue Vincent’s Thursday Photo Prompt. Ascent

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:

I have always feared being a lost soul, trapped in the spot where I had died. So I have written an Acrostic Poem about the moment such a soul is finally released. I pray that all souls are released.

Ascent.

Ailing soul lost in pain

Suffer no more

Climb the stairs your freedom to gain

Eternity is beyond the door

No more purgatory for you

It’s your turn to fly

Take your chance, start anew

Your time for Ascent is nigh.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Letters

This week Linda of A Life In Progress has given us the word Letter as our #SoCs prompt. Rules and Pingback here.

I used to love writing letters but even more I loved receiving them. Sadly nowadays the art of letter writing is dying, we are all too dependant on electronic mail and communication.

Acrostic Poem Letter

Long distances made smaller

Email or a mobile caller

Time was we only had paper and pens

To cross the miles between friends

Every letter on the page

Really spoke of love,news, even rage.
