Your eyes
Once weary with passion
A devout fashion
Earning the extra mile
The highly uncrowned acreage
Your eyes
Once teary with vision
You sowed the seeds of discord
Watered with crumbled affection
Tilled till the fields were tender
Till a voyage turned a sojourn
Your eyes
Unwary like a curse with nystagmus
And your passion
Withering like a waning moon
Eclipsing your sanity with phantasm
Your eyes
Once brisk at basking in the obvious
Won’t see
That the thistles among our lilies
Are the thorns in your future

If I have to write randomly, it comes in a few minutes. On the other hand, if I have to follow prompts, it takes much longer or forever. Thanks for visiting.

I need to spend less time seeking out the thistles in my lilies and more time just enjoying the lilies when they’re blooming. Love your prose ❤

Love your poem. Was it written in random or by prompt? With poem, I write better when an inspiration just hit me. I would stop at a parking lot to write on the back of a receipt, or the napkin in a restaurant. Responding to a prompt, is like writing an essay or composing an assignment. Yes, it is an assignment. Thank you for like my post.

This one was written in response to the daily prompt. Yes, it did feel like work and does not flow as easily as a random poem. You are absolutely right about the fact that it does feel like work, sometimes almost taking the passion out of it. When it gets that hard however, I just abscond! Not that I quit. I just take a break . Fresh perspectives comes with breaks and reading other works.Thanks for visiting my blog.

I agree with you. I decided not to respond to every prompt. I can write other things until a prompt sparks my interest.
