Roundabout Way of Meeting a Prompt

A chance to rhyme was missed
Wished I payed closer attention
Mention it to me, will you?
Do you think it’s still too late?
Hate breaking a nearly complete cycle

Like I’ll ever make a full year
Nearly did though, with Jane’s prompts
Glom a few words to fit a form
Normally on time
I’m never, ever late

Great timing on my part.
Start thinking. Any thoughts?
Naught comes to my mind.
Find a rhyme, perhaps in a CAPTCHA?

Well, I managed to respond to Jane Dougherty’s weekly poetry challenge for the last eleventh months, but somehow I let her Poetry Challenge #48: Circles and cycles slip by before the deadline. She provided a photo of fallen apples, which I did not use here, and a theme of circles, cycles, seasons, life, planetary or whatever. Well, this is a circular poem and it notes a broken cycle, so there you have it!

True Brew

True Brew

For a grind, grating on his ear,
near to cacophony as any sound
round about sunrise,
eyes open barely enough to see,
he seems not to mind,
finding satisfaction in the scene,
beans’ aroma pleasing,
teasing his palate with yet to be savored
flavor, its brew offering so much more,
for a grind, grating on his ear.

This is my response to Jane Dougherty’s Poetry challenge #7: Circular Poem
