Here’s today’s prompt from Robert Lee Brewer:
For this Two-for-Tuesday prompt:
- Write a change poem and/or…
- Write a don’t change poem.
For my Muse
She changes every night
but I barely notice
until two weeks pass
and she’s brighter
than a nightingale song.
But then she’s gone
for a week or more
when a dark mood
shades her countenance
like a careless remark.
Patience—
she will return.

Thanks! I couldn’t come up with anything better for that prompt and it was after 8pm so I thought I’d better just write something for the Moon. I can always rely on her.

Yeah. I saw the prompt this afternoon and was completely underwhelmed and uninspired by it.

The Two-for-Tuesday prompts tend to be least inspiring.
