Prompt For Hour Four
The prompt for this hour is to write a four stanza poem. The stanzas can be as long or short as you want them to be. In each of the stanzas, you most repeat one of the lines in the first stanza. It can be the same line repeated in each stanza or a different line in each stanza. This can have a dramatically different effect, depending on the length of the line and the length of the stanza.
By Patricia Harris
Chores to be done,
Weary soul still on the run,
No peace to be found,
No place to lay my head.
Chores to be done,
The list miles long,
Each one something that must be done,
Before I can rest my weary soul.
Weary soul still on the run,
Ignoring all that must be done,
Pretending that I can do it all,
In just one day.
No peace to be found,
In a world of war and strife,
Looking at the way I live,
Questioning how I live my life.
