Guest Poem: Careful Planning
Careful Planning
For links to poetry prompts, or if you missed out on what I’m doing for National Poetry Month, check out the first post here.
To end each post, there will be this call to share your own work. Whether it’s something that you write as soon as you finish reading this post, or it’s a poem you’ve posted or had published, place the whole poem in the comments or put a link to it. A brief description before the link will help me process comments faster, so I know they’re not spam.
Also, feel free to share links to poems or spoken word performances by other poets. I hope this month will bring a wide variety of poetry to everyone’s attention. Also, there will be posts on my author Facebook page, a link to which can be found on the right-hand side, that will include spoken word performances and links to work of other poets, which will not appear here.
Wow. This piece was like a stab to the heart.
I liked the dropped sentences. It made the piece feel like someone gently stroking a loved ones head as they’re saying their last goodbyes.
I’m so glad you like it! I love the work of this poet, and I have more of her poems I’ll be sharing this month!
My aching heart! I agree with what AmbroseAndElsie said about the dropped sentences.
Nikkita has such a beautiful way of writing. I have several more of her pieces I’ll be sharing this month. And I really like the description of the stroking of hair and saying goodbye that Amy from AmbroseAndElsie gave. I’m glad she shared that, because I can see it too now.
I look forward to reading them! Yes, and that’s why I agreed with the comment. 😄
