Poem 20160222

Posted on by crow

we plummeted to earth
tumbling skin to skin
limbs entangled in white silk

an explosion of feathers
descended after us
drifting like snowflakes
and tasting of too-sweet sugar

as we fell
we made angels
in the sheets

    1. I can’t take full credit. Those lines were the prompt for the poem. You can see all the prompts on Instagram by looking up @amandatorroni there.

      2. Here’s a link to the original post. You don’t need to be on Instagram to see it:

        LEAP YEAR WRITING CHALLENGE! We know we have been MIA, so to get our creative brains firing again, @tylerkentwhite & designed a new prompt list for the month of February. Rather than keep it to ourselves, we wanted to share with all of you in hopes that you decide to play/follow along. Feel free to repost the prompt list before we begin. If you decide to join in, don't forget to tag us & use the hashbrown tag #LYPoetry to make it easier to browse. These daily prompts are meant to serve as titles, & crafted to inspire the right side of your brain. You may end up using the line in your work, or you may find that ruminating over a word or phrase takes you light years away from where you began. THAT IS GREAT. Keep in mind that this is only a guide. If you fall behind, if WE fall behind, that is okay too! This is a challenge, not a prison. I will also be popping in throughout the month with other creative exercises/tips/behind the scenes content to help you along on your own journey by sharing more of mine. Which prompts are you guys most excited to see us try and/or try on your own? Let us know!
