Prompted Words

Poets capture thoughts, roaming across

either inside their scattered minds

or, in the air, in an unintentional glance,

that later synchronized

and poured into a magical flow

sometimes it becomes classic

sometimes it doesn’t,

sometimes it follows the rules

sometimes it won’t,

a beauty nevertheless

and silly in some others’ thoughts,

flash feelings

scribbled into the ink of a pen

or the screen of the digital canvas

poets’ disorganized emotions converge into an avatar of words.

Today’s morning light

triggered a sudden idea

of writing a continuous poem

in prompted words, or asked themes by the readers

to mend into my own words

whatever the pick is!

a poem for an indefinite period

a running poem in screened words.
