I was too busy to ponder this month’s Visual Verse prompt. Just looked at it now and this one popped out instantly. Life’s like that.
Sky flutters
blinks
to get rid of the smut?
Birds flutter
never smutty
bright as planets
strung lights
we clutter
engine-stutter
swaying among the effortless wings
hollow-boned grace
spluttering
our machine-stinks
sky blinks.

And then I stop and sit and eat.
Loved what you did here.
I wasn’t busy, I was lazy. And getting lazier and lazier.
I glanced at this one and then ignored it. I was trying to finish a story and doing anything else seemed sinful 🙂
Sometimes I’m like, Don’t look; don’t even try.
I was stronger this time, and, like you, busy doing sth else. It’s a good prompt, but I’m still glad I ignored it.
You can’t do them all, even if they all provoked something. No time.
Sometimes it’s good to ignore them.
I agree.
Funny I wrote about birds too. I didn’t expect they would publish it but they did. (K)
I’ll go see if I can find it. They never published my poems until recently then they published everything I sent. Don’t know what their criteria are at all.
I can’t figure it out either. For awhile they published a lot of mine, but not so much recently.
It was the same with Ekphrastic. After a honeymoon period when they published one every time and I had a slot in the magazine, they took nothing for months. Then suddenly they started taking everything again.
PS I found yours and I enjoyed it, the birds and the analogy with immigrants. Airships, who cares?
Agreed.
Also funny, with a for me new follow up of lines. Michael
It’s almost word association. Thank you!
But in a great way! Thank you, Jane!
