33rd prompt / 2018
What's the point of poetry prompt
When one's poem isn't prompt?
When poet's thoughts wander around
For want of rhymes yet to be found.
What's the point, What's the point?
What's the point of prompted poetry
When one has neither words nor story.
When scarcely an idea comes to mind
And the poet's turning a corner blind.
What's the point, What's the point?
Yet when one is prompted to write in rhyme,
Based on a prompt, to be finished on time,
The poet brings forth
words both timid and bold,
And weaves them into a poem,
for all to behold.
That's the point.
