It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on.
Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory.
I will read each piece thoroughly.
Please tag me after you have entered.
Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves.
*Everyone will receive a review.
I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors.
*These reviews are my opinion.
Thank you and have fun!

A Million Lives
I wish I could live a million lives over.
But not unconscious past lives where we know and remember not,
I wish we could live and experience endlessly
with the cognition of knowing there’s not an experience unlived.
There is not a love missed.
For how can I die satisfied when the whole world lays open and endless before me?
For I am the maker and the keeper of what my life will be.
So although I am only given one life in this body,
I will fit a million lives worth of love, moments, and experiences in it.
