Thursday Prompts in 55 Words


Observe something that's forgotten,
It could be a fence that goes rotten,
Do you think it's convinced to erode?
Silenced to speak by fate,
Yet, it does have a story to tell,
Look inside your heart,
Be care enough to know
that it is a piece of art,
and YOU can make it feel great.

*****

    Yes! I do believe our hearts are a
    work of art - and as you write it is up to us to make her feel great.

    Lovely choice of words in your poem.

    "could be a fence that goes rotten"

    Love that. Whenever I see something old and in some state of decay I think to myself "that was new once".
    Even people. ;-)

    Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes we just forget to look at ourselves with the same open eyes!

    Thanks for a lovely link.

    Well said! I love to find the beauty in old worn out things. Sometimes they are much better than shiny new ones.
