So every year for the past three years, I have participated with friends in a
|
||||
month-long daily art prompt list we call "Ourtober".
|
||||
|
||||
This year I decided that rather than doing digital art (as is my normal method),
|
||||
I was going to attempt to write poetry for each prompt. The following are my poems
|
||||
for this event:

1. [Strands](/ourtober-2023/strands)
|
||||
2. [Gothic](/ourtober-2023/gothic)
|
||||
3. [Opportunities](/ourtober-2023/opportunities)
|
||||
4. [Bleed](/ourtober-2023/bleed)
|
||||
5. [Cirrus](/ourtober-2023/cirrus)

Article of fading cloth
|
||||
Taken, carried, through each home,
|
||||
Comfort through the darkest nights
|
||||
Beaten, battered, and re-sewn.
|
||||
|
||||
Memories of ages past
|
||||
Friends and loved ones come and gone,
|
||||
Still the beaten, tattered cloth
|
||||
Now ill-fitting but still worn.
|
||||
|
||||
Folded gently on a shelf
|
||||
Not yet ready hearts to part,
|
||||
But someday some new face will
|
||||
Bring it to another start.

Behind bold figures
|

A quiet, jealous watcher
|

Afraid to stand out

In the twilight tail of life
|
||||
Regret stabbing like a knife
|
||||
At the end of mortal strife
|
||||
Squandered out of fear
|
||||
|
||||
Think upon the beaten path
|
||||
Moments one refrained to laugh
|
||||
Notes marked down in life's great staff
|
||||
That we didn't hear
|
||||
|
||||
When we leave this world alone
|
||||
Will we be remembered, known?
|
||||
Will we leave but crumbled bone
|
||||
To those we hold dear

An open wound
|
||||
Festering, torn
|
||||
The pains of trauma
|
||||
We now mourn
|
||||
|
||||
Carried long
|
||||
Without relief
|
||||
Long-past buried
|
||||
Signs of grief
|
||||
|
||||
Now our life
|
||||
Returns to pain
|
||||
Remembering how
|
||||
To bleed again
|
||||
|
||||
We yet not flinch
|
||||
Or shrink or both
|
||||
These are pains
|
||||
Of change — of growth

Icy needle storm
|

Aimlessly thrown to the ground
|

Never touching down
