We Write Poems Prompt: Miracle
Miracles
We are here
Where did
We come from
Some say
They know
There is controversy
All answers
Seem to suggest
Miracles
We survive
Same thing
How do
We survive
Some say
They know
There is controversy
All answers
Seem to suggest
Miracles
The World itself
A blue marble in
Space
How did it happen
Some say
They know
There is controversy
All answers
Seem to suggest
Miracles
The World is filled
With wondrous
Creatures
Where did they
Come from
Some say
They know
There is controversy
All answers
Seem to suggest
Miracles
I do not seek exact answers
I like living in a world
Of miracles
A world of wonder
Stars twinkle
In the nighttime sky
The sun burns up
In wondrous sunsets
Each day
I don’t have
To have
All the answers
Perhaps the answers
Would spoil
The miracles
The magic

Prompt: fix, apart, snatch, cover, pair,
angel
waves, simple, box, clay, lies,
The Perfect Pair
We were the
Perfect pair
Fit together
Like two pieces
Of a jig saw puzzle
Yet
We are apart
Nothing to be fixed
Your leaving
Snatched the rug
From beneath my feet
It all happened
In a breath
The world stood still
Just for a moment
After that
Nothing
Was the same
I cover my head
With a black shawl
I am but a shadow
An angel walks
With me now
Calms the waves
After the storm
It is simple
All answers are in
The box of clay
Which lies in
The moonlight

Writer's Digest Prompt: Write an antique poem.
Christmas around the corner
Just out of sight
Snow covers the ground
Outside
The horse and
Sleigh await
Make the
Neighborhood rounds
Singing carols
Sip a bit
Santa’s on his way
Mom and Day
Up late
Sparkly tree
Pretty presents
For everyone
Mama killed a chicken
Stuffed it with dressing
Children tucked in bed
Just a memory
Of long ago
Or maybe
Never
