Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 647

For this week's prompt, write a stolen moment poem. A month ago, I had folks write a lost moment poem, which is a moment taken from you. But this time around, you (or your narrator or someone you're writing about) will be the one taking a moment to have a moment.

Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

“roses,” by Robert Lee Brewer

there are moments when
i will just pull over to the side
& inhale & exhale & exclaim
what a wonderful world i live in
except the exclamation resides
in my head but still i pull over
& think my god what a life
to be able to live & have
a chance to appreciate it
