Poetry Prompt #8
Forget rhyme and let the words flow freely in response to this week’s Poetry Prompt. This gorgeous creature makes itself at home in my garden and allows me to enjoy the occasional close encounter. It’s a youngster and I haven’t seen Mama about for a while. Are you inspired already? I hope so. Don’t forget, if you’ve missed one of our Monday prompts, you can catch up at any time. Send your submissions to traffa-m@bigpond.net.au as a Word document attachment and add a personal note about why or how you chose to write this particular poem. Happy writing! Teena

Bend and Sway
The simplicity of grass blades
barely clinging to the sand
bending in the wind.
Will they blow away
or just sway
showing they are made for
surviving the storms
– but can they be warriors to erosion?
By June Perkins
