Word Play Poetry on an Overcast June (not July) Morning

I have written more consecutive poetry in the last week than I have in a long, long time. Last night I discovered my voluminous earlier work, from 2003 through 2008 and it felt so refreshing to find myself in those words again.

Rejuvenation via poetics. I like it. Today's poem is inspired by the visual prompt from Magpie Tales. Enjoy and write poetry alongside the others....

 

Magpie Tales Visual Prompt for June 28: Midsummer Night's Melancholy

by Michael Sowa

She bled herself awake into the emptiness

what once was no longer fills her shredded nest, nexus, not anymore

Simply awry, she thought, salacious anxiety from

the edges of the once wanted one now wobbling

across the floor with mumbled good mornings

spilling towards her sleepiness

unwilling to want

unerring desire

unfettered musts

she watches for the filler to arrive
