2026 PAD Challenge Day 17
my response is :
a house with no foundation
falls in so quickly...
so too does the soul
without ego fail.
We need to build
a foundation,
stable and true...
so that with time
we know the ability
to face the truth.
Here’s My response:
I see the rage monster
you try to hide,
And I wonder if the monster
as you see it
is not but an injured animal within.
Injured animals strike
at anything within reach.
And as I refuse to leave your side...
Well perhaps you are not the monster
you think you are...
*note Right now this is sitting in the Kissed by Verse volume. I am not positive it fits the theme but I am also unsure it does not. My mind may change before publication of that volume.
the prompt can be found here
For though I had not written
in a score of days,
the pen seemed to have
a life of its own as I wrote
in a complete haze.
Poetry flowed loosely
from my mind as if I had
breached a dam at last.
the pen and I were
joined as one,
and I myself
found poetry done.
