Don’t Dismay; Act

Even shadows soften
time’s light
—Fade slow
Forgiveness turns
darkest corners
—Glow warm
Pain isn’t #baffled
but evolves
—Shift now
Mindset peace amid
our scars
—Resist here.

A unique challenge for writing and poetry community by inkJohn to compose a Waltmire poem. What a challenge! Thanks Thermodynamic Elegy I breathe in pine, aware the carbon isn't leaving. Too much Stars blink behind a cosmos smeared fumes with warning. No rest The glacier's cracked shelters like ancient speech. She melts I count the rings of trees measure its roots grief. Too late Still, I chant apologies Mars; it welcomes me. We change

@intjohn.bsky.social What a hefty challenge: #WALTMIRE
haven’t tried since University
poetry class. I admire it is an actual challenge. The Stafford Challenge may find this one worthy. They like this kind of poetry. ⤵️
