Prompt from: Poets United














The Thursday Think Tank #79 - Unique

I have written a poem using the form: SEPTOLET.
The Septolet is a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words with a break between the two parts. Both parts deal with the same thought and create a picture.


Consider
I am
safe
in the middle
of today,

tucked inside
a smooth
white shell.

And the middle of today... this very moment... is really all there is, now.

We all wear shells, at least this one comes with windows, some can be quite stifling.
