forbidding thoughts that are new
harvests of regurgitated concepts
progressing on a treadmill
ultimate destination…
…nowhere
old stars burn out
slowly sacrificing their cores
so that new stars are born
giving you a chance
to alter your destiny
new promises to break
new dreams to shatter
new smiles to fake
new lies to mutter
old values at stake
dignity no longer matters
over time
new meanings
between layers
of ancient verses
in substantial scriptures
…. god must be a poet
this “poem” is actually made up of 4 separate and unrelated micropoems. Created from prompts using phrases containing the word “new” over 4 consecutive days. I usually stay away from similar prompts too close to each other, because I am afraid that I will end up only re-wording the same theme and see the limitations of my creativity. I am happy that I pushed myself to try out these prompts and proud of an invisible, though unintended, flow through them. Incidentally, the 4 prompts by #orjay were…
~ new harvests
~ new stars
~ new promises
~ new meanings
co-incidence? or conspiracy

After appreciating four nuances of the concept of newness, I don’t believe in limitations to your creativity. And, the beautiful common thread even though unintended… Bravo! Just beautiful….
