Very insightful, Jim. Yes, even if it means falling on your back. Many thanks.

David, I read your poem on my phone at first, but the image didn't appear (it's an issue with my phone sometimes). I imagined her in a giant slingshot being pulled back and let go. Now that I see it on my laptop, I love the picture you included, and the poem!

Many thanks for reading it Dee. I like the imaginative image you created and the powerful 'let go'.

Dee again, David. I wanted to let you know you inspired me. Thank you! After reading your poem, I couldn't let go of that image I had in my mind of a giant slingshot and your words stayed with me. So I wrote a prose poem drabble about flight, freedom, and faith. It's "Launch Me" and it was published Sunday. Here's the journal link, so you can see the intro and photo I chose, too: https://agapereview.com/

That's a really powerful poem, Dee! So beautifully done. The hard work is recognised and rewarded with power again and again.

Thank you, David. Comments are closed.

PoetryThis is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most. Please feel free to comment (nicely!) on any poems – writers appreciate it.
Just at the moment, though, we're moderating some of them so there might be a slight delat before they appear.
