Poetry & Prose by Carol J Forrester
This tether will not lead me to anything,
least of all you.
But still I keep it clasped
between rope burnt palms
unsure of the slack
where once there was a taut pull,
desperate and pleading,
but slowly fraying
in the places I chose not to look.
With the Daily Prompt no longer running I’m looking for some new places to hunt for inspiration. Does anyone have any recommendations for poetry prompts/link ups that take place during the week?

When I first “liked,
I thought the first three lines were the entire poem. It could be!
