Never Truly Gone - #W3 #Wea'veWrittenWeekly #dVerse #Poetics #MoonwashedWeeklyPrompt #EchoPoem #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #writer #writingcommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! I'm prompt-combining again, but this one was a doozy as two of the prompts are concepts I've never worked with, so it was a bit of a struggle. Still, with limited time, I wanted to see if I could manage to combine the prompts and create something worthwhile. I'm not sure if I did (lol), but I definitely tried. 

For dVerse's Poetics: Reimagining the Familiar, Dora encouraged us to take a common object or a habit and reimagine it in some way. So, I chose to take a sunset and imagine a lost loved one painting the sky.

For Eugi's Moonwashed Weekly Prompt, she provided us with a beautiful image and the following lines and asked us to use any word or line (or the image) as inspiration. Her phrases were:

popsicle skypage

a scenic masterpiece

brushstrokes by nature

For W3 #145: Wea've Written Weekly, David introduced us to Echo Verse and asked us to write a poem using it. The only rule is that the sound of the end syllable of each line must repeat at the end of that line. I struggled with this form, but hopefully, I used it correctly below.

Never Truly Gone

Staring at the colorful sky, I

watch the clouds begin to dance, dance

the sunset's rays begin to paint ~ paint

brushstrokes by nature, heaven sent

sent

by you to remind me of your love ~ of

nature's scenic masterpiece ~

peace

fills my lonely heart ~ art

colors the sky in your favorite color ~ or

what's become mine, too ~ to

remind me of you, 

you

are there, painting magnificent hues ~ hues

that make a statement ~ meant

to let me know you are still here ~ here

with me in spirit forever

forever

my artist, forever my love

love
