Kickstarting the Poetry Editing Section with some Prompt and Poetry Exchange!
This is our first initiated activity for each other in the Poetry Editing section!
When writing, we often hit a creativity block and are not sure of what to write.
Suggest a topic, person, place, or any prompt or theme to help another generate an idea to write poetry for!
Our wonderful poets will be given a chance to express their creativity, and you as a prompt-giver, will be gifted with your very own poem!
~ I hope to participate with you all too!
- Your Comrade,
Ruhi :D

@sadcat13 or well, doesn´t even have to be in the rain, just the rose and the paper bird

A Glimpse Out My Window on a Rainy Day
The road down below is filled today.
With the laughter of children that love to play.
Boots splish-splashing as they shout "Hurray!"
I smiled with joy at such a fun display.
My keen eyes continued to survey.
I found a rose laying drenched on a stairway.
Its beauty, in sorrowful decay.
Hushed in this storm are lovers' dismay.
I frowned, and chose to look far away.
Suddenly, I noticed a stunning array.
The thunderous clouds had gone astray.
Soft pitter-pattering drops, a sudden "Yay!"
There it was, a sight that made hearts sway.
A rainbow over every dark alleyway!
The sky shines with sunlight this midday.
The birds snuggled in trees, their wet wings did weigh.
A paper bird flew, without delay.
Through the misty skies, it soared and did not fray.
The sun frees weeping souls with every warm ray.
Birds still fly. Storms they do not obey.
Looked out my window, each sight did convey...
The road down below is filled today.
With those that dance in rain's bittersweet ballet.

@sadcat13
It was really fun for me to write! An absolutely worthwhile way to procrastinate studies. 😎
@ComradeRuhi
Omigosh Ruhi that was so so sweet and lovely! ✨🌈 you really are so talented (: 💙
@LoveMyMoonflowers
You never fail to make my day! AHHHH, you're so sweet!
@ComradeRuhi omg you’re so talented, I love how beautiful it is❤️
@Torean
from brick to bone all is there
Striped away and I’m left bare
in my hand or in my sight
without my grasp non is right
if you can’t be seen I will not look
if can’t be half I will not touch
with my faith I won’t be shook
present or vacant it mean not much
if I can not perceive then I won’t be seen
(just a quick something I wasn’t following any particular poem structure but I always like then to rhyme)
(Tw possibly) Kids in war (they dont hv to be kid-fighters, just in times of war i mean)
@Innovarefy no, everyone is welcome. The tag list is just people who get tagged in the new posts because they don't want to miss them 😊

@LoveMyMoonflowers
Not as lovely as you, Moon! 😤
That sounds great! I thought this would be a fun way for us all to connect with each other more, and also share ideas about what we can write!
@ComradeRuhi
a falling leaf with two points of view, the leaf (resembles the end of itself)
and someone who loves fall (possibly because it reminds them of new beginnings)
btw this is absolutely stunning, keep it up Ruhi! ^^
@Est3lle
In these ember leaves I see your face
I see your smile
and I see your grace.
You said that you had lost it all
and that you were scared
that you would fall.
But when you fall it gives a chance
for someone to catch you
as you softly dance.
You need not be scared if you fall
For I'll be there
through it all.
I'll care enough to embrace your life
and care enough
to ease your strife.
For their is beauty with your pain
and your beauty
lives forever in my brain.
Now winters here and the leaves are gone
but your still with me
as your memory lives on.
Your life was full of color and brought me a smile
so I will wait for autumn again
even if I am waiting awhile.
For in these ember leaves I see your face,
I see your smile
I see your grace.
@cresentrose2811
awww. this is so beautiful. 🥺 thank you so much for sharing 💕
@cresentrose2811 not me trying not to sob in the bus over how beautiful it is 😭
Here’s one I made about love…
Love is a diamond
Everyone has it deep down inside
So much it’s never easy to hide
Ten thousand laughs when you’re feeling low
Yet one act of kindness can spread it so
Love is a diamond
When darkness sits it will be bright
Shared and it’s a pretty sight
A jewel that’ll always be free
Well, if you take it properly
Love is a diamond
No more than a pebble of light
But still, theres nothing more right
Sharp only when tossed around
But soft when carefully, strongly bound
❤️❤️❤️
@cresentrose2811
I Can't Write A Word
(A silly poem by me)
I can't write a word
Not matter how I try
This is getting absurd
I think I might cry
The words escape me so
I wish I had a thought
My brain must be dough
A poem this is naught
So I'll move on from here
I give up for good
I'll try again next year
Do you think I should?
@genericbeing hahah, it’s hilarious. Thx for making my day a little lighter
@ComradeRuhi
Write a poem about your bedroom floor.
I’m not sure why but this prompt calls to me each time I read it
@birthdaycop255 I tried my best
The sun shines
and i rest my gaze
on what of my life remains
A med kit.
To keep myself safe
A pile of books.
Some read, some halfway through.
Some slippers I forgot I own.
A bottle graveyard on the floor.
An embroidery I started as a gift
Not finished yet, but will for sure return to it.
Stationery, journal, tissues and some tech
Some tangled cables, chargers, an orange bucket.
Over all it proudly rules
A manequin with an arranged blouse.
Someone may see a mess
But it´s all pieces of who I am.
@ComradeRuhi
Blank, testing, paper
I know these are words it's just I love to write poems about what's happening in my life right now, and right now it's testing so that's why I thought of that.
Another fight, another slammed door
Your words stab down right to my core
Fool me once, don't fool me twice
The second time comes with a steeper price
Round and round, and round we go
To all the places I already know
You would think that I would start to learn
That lust isn't love, yet my heart still yearns.
A broken mess I shall not be
Even though you chose to leave.
For we have done this all before
I know the story. I know our lore.
Despite your torment, I won't say it's a mistake.
For a heart once mended is harder break
@cresentrose2811 beautiful and evokes deep emotion <3 you have amazing skill
A heart once mended is harder to break,
A life once revived is harder to take
Tears, once shed, are harder to cause
Thoughts, once started, are harder to pause
Words once uttered are harder to erase
Time, with its wonder, has a merciless pace
Support, and kindness, are all it will take-
And the heart thus mended shall be harder to break.
It might not have been what you’re looking for but this just came to me, so here!
