Resurrection

by DALLAS01

inspiration slips

behind

a faded curtain

laden with hours

of wear and tear



seeking shelter

It reclines in sweet repose

regenerating

ironing out the wrinkles

adding substance

to words that might validate

a poets eclectic effort

heart

begging recognition



desperation deliberates

respite works its wonders



puckers begin to relax

imagination stretches ideas

impotence impaled

on the stake of stagnation

the curtain rises

resurrection

FREE VERSE POETRY writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Please write a free verse poem.

ANY theme you like.

IMO, free verse should have NO STRUCTURED line, verse or rhyme format - random is best.

I think, to differentiate from prose, free verse should incorporate at least SOME of the following poetic devices:

alliteration, metaphors/similes, random rhyme, imagery, terse maybe fragmented sentences.

Absolutely NO punctuation allowed, unless capital letters for proper nouns.

No artwork allowed.

No 'author notes' allowed.

MIN 60 words, MAX 160 words.

'Definition' above 'Title' must read, 'Free verse contest entry', followed by the word count - NOTHING ELSE.

TWO colour only presentation - one for background and one for type.

One style of type only, written in straight lines.

Pays one point and 2 member cents.
