THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Big Clock" by Li-Young Lee: clock, face, key, saw, borders, safe, gain, forgetting, smiling, spilled, goes, calendar
Open Link Weekend #96
the clock and the calendar
have been sabotaged
time goes too fast
borders closed again
safe we hope
for a while
i saw your smiling face
love spilled over
am never forgetting you
here take the key to my heart
I love all your shorties – very apt at this time! (And the final one never grows old.) I like the advice in the image too.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm so enchanted by what you did with the Whirligig words. Such tenderness. Such longing. Such love. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteClosed borders again! Stay Safe
ReplyDeleteWow! Lovely poems
Happy Friday
Much💜love
Oh, that first one... I am amazed Dec. is already 1/3 gone.
ReplyDeletePerfect. I can't tell you were using word prompts because they all seem the right fit here.
ReplyDeleteTime does seem to be speeding along. This is a sweet poem. It warms me a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteThat final stanza really speaks to me: some loves stay forever in our heart.
ReplyDeleteI love the earthweal pic! I so relate to your words, especially time going so fast. And love "love spilled over / am never forgetting you."
ReplyDeleteYour art carries a powerful tale. I like the term "Love spilled over". Nice thought!
ReplyDeleteThere's power in joy. I love your infusion of joy in this.
ReplyDeleteReally can't tell that the words are from a prompt. The words fit into the three short poems so seamlessly.
ReplyDeleteyes, time seems to move too fast these days.
Fun read and I love the message in the "head".
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. The last one made sigh. So much trust is a wonder and a blessing.
ReplyDeleteDoes time run faster as we age, or is it just me?
ReplyDeleteI have only one key to the heart and it was stolen long ago.
