Today is the last day of National Poetry Writing Month, but the writing will go on! My final poem for the month was inspired by the triolet form (though it’s not a triolet) and Maya Angelou’s “On the Pulse of Morning,” which was in the prompt from Adele Kenny’s poetry blog.
Praying for a dream
lift up your faces
you have a piercing need
which will not be moved
despite its wrenching pain
lift up your faces
but seek no haven
a bordered country
armed for slaughter
lift up your faces
for a new beginning
clad in peace
you have a piercing need
