Line by Line Challenge - November 3 line poemss

[Piscator]

This is the start of what I hope will be a twelve month challenge, starting in November where you are asked to submit your 3 line poem(s). Any topic and number of poems and forms within the requisite number of lines are acceptable

If there is a good response, the line count will increase by one each month. The December challenge will be for four line poems, and so on to ending with fourteen line poems in October.

till one takes the plunge

nearly split in two

We were left alone.

....The cherry was flowering,
..............but you were as sweet.

Who would have thought that you,
who I hold in such high esteem, Now try
to lead down roads best not taken.

Satie soft near dawn
Nocturnes in a blue bedroom
Our hearts beat in counterpoint

 

[todski28]

Delusions of grandeur sit like the emperors new clothes
brazenly naked, screaming look at me
a cohort of masks most of them a shade of projection

lockdown town
don’t come round
everyone is going down

I'm very good at squeezing my
Kegel muscles very tight, so tight in fact
I can make it hard to withdraw.

Because of silence
He took his leave
So now I sit alone.

in a shy, soft voice. I felt

....each word as your warm embrace.

skims the window, my hair spread
across your chest. Our haven.

once we had a dream
now I fear a nightmare.

Wild strawberries,
fragrant, ripe. Open your mouth,

I cannot touch you—

.....yet my fingers slip along
..your arms, your hips. .. Paradox.

Lay on the bed. Breathe.
Think about poetry. Words
whispering, worlds colliding.
