The Year Keeps Rolling and So Do We

Poetry Prompt | Pass It On

A legacy or a liability?

Greetings one and all wherever you may be,

It’s great to have you here in whatever capacity you’re in. Another day, another week to be grateful for sharing this space with you. 🙏 💞

As unwell as he was, Suntonu still had the oomph to set us a writing challenge for Paper Poetry’s Week 22 prompt. Themed, 2022 as I see it, Suntonu invited us to ‘write whatever you want to express about 2022’.

I set the ball rolling with a cinquain poem, Mad Men of 2022, about the Ukraine war, an atrocity that has, for me, defined the year to date.

Toni’s and Raine’s responses to the prompt had me thinking about what lies ahead for the remainder of the year, and how actions taken now play out into the future, sometimes in ways that are not intended. It gave me the idea for our next prompt.

Let’s take a look.
