Poetry Writing Prompts: The First

1. Peel from your eyes their woolen ennui.
2. Melt your soul softly into the horizon
3. Now sunset flamed, all scarlets, violets
4. And corals – your numinous projections.
5. Absorb the glistening hues and listen
6. To the unfolding of your hurts, entombed
7. As they were in the moldiest heart corners.
8. Inhale the cerulean vigor as it washes
9. Over and among the encrusted passions
10. Dormant, subverted in the daily drudge.
11. Savor the tang as your senses, once
12. Deadened, warble to life in a building
13. Crescendo.  At the climax, faculties tingling,
14. Are the sparks that ignite the poem.
