The prompt for today was posted on Legendfire by Tisiphone’s Downfall: “Write a poem in any style, any length, using blank verse. This is simply unrhymed verse, especially unrhymed iambic pentameter. Each line will have around 5 (pentameter) iambs (one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed, such as in “ago”).”

Dear Self, I built our dream in one fortnight:
Huddled at my cluttered desk, I bemoaned
the loss of our last try, yet here I build
again on top the foundations of the old.
I take our past and melt it all to clay —
our life compressed to iridescent acts.
Since all memories turn to stone, why not
ignite the old to reach the new?

Open the door, step inside. Here you find a forest, teeming with animals and birds, which sweeps up the sides of snow-capped mountains. Here in the small pocket of beauty, one finds the essence of my soul.
A writer at heart, I delve deep into the finer details of humanity's spirit, and seek to share with others what gems I uncover. I find life exciting and full of interesting surprises, and despite the great pain that often confronts me, I persevere with the joy in my heart still bubbling, and the light of my soul still aflame.
There is a time and a place to introspect one's self, but often enough it is best to not look back in regret, but leap forward in the present toward the achievement of one's deepest dreams.
I am a wanderer. An explorer. One place cannot contain me for long, but to my friends and family, I remain loyal, for love is not bound by time nor place. Once cultivated and nourished continuously, it binds people together on a journey through the unknown reaches of life.

enjoy reading your poetry. I used to write poetry, but like all good things such writing takes continual work. Haven’t written it for so long that I think I’ve forgotten how. You are doing good writing.
