d’Verse Poetics – Can You Give Me A Hand?
Mish at mishunderstoodhas challenged us to write a poem using “hands” as our inspiration.
—–
Opening Hand
she shoved her hand into
a pocket and found she
had nothing to say
her thoughts
were clenched in a fist
sharp ideas dug into her palms
until letter by letter
fingers of words uncurled
she flung them up to the sky
and poems rained down
reached out and waved
farewell to her
I hope the farewell is only temporary ~ Love the visual of this one:
until letter by letter
fingers of words uncurled
she flung them up to the sky
