A One Line Poem

Let absence speak

more than words

ever could, extending

a dialogue of silence

ellipses continue

until closed.

Poem thanks to Kathy Jacobs prompt of Goodbye and her poem:

A thanks goes out to the Chalkboard crew of Kathy Jacobs and Harper Thorpe for the weekly inspiration.

I also want to make a call out to Dionne Charlet and also Indira Reddy and there’s even more poets to tag but I hate for it to be endless. If you guys haven’t tried the one line prompt for this week, Goodbye, give it a go! It’s a condensed poetic bite to deliver and eat. ♥️

I'm unapologetically me with a hard edged view of life. I love to travel and have crazy amounts of fun spaced between quiet moments.
