I have a confession. Yesterday’s blog post was written hurredly. It was also written quite late in the day and I began falling asleep as I was typing. As a result. None of it makes a lot of sense. So Here is the “sensible” version.
I follow the Picture it & Write blog at:
Each week they put up a picture as a writing prompt. Normally, I don’t have inspiration within the week (and therefore before the next prompt), but this week I have. Here is my contribution:
BUBBLE
A shrink-wrap
Bubble shrouds me
Surfactant surface tension
Closes in on airways
Sucking air from lungs
The world outside
Is unaware of my plight
Hidden by semi-translucent colours
Red, gold, purple
Blue
As my cyanosed mouth
Cannot breathe
Or scream for help
Not you would hear me
Nor would you help
I’m glad this week’s image inspired you. Please don’t feel like you’re cut off from writing something for an earlier week. We do our best to read and reply to all of the contributions no matter if they are months back.
Thank you,
I find that sometimes the poem comes 2 – 3 weeks later, I use it as a writing exercise. This week though came pretty quickly!
