Prompt #140, It’s Post Your Poems Day!
In The Eye of the Beholder
We Write Poems:
Was it spiders, snapping turtles, or maybe worms? How about that grumpy neighbor down the street? Was it your first car, maybe something of a wreck, yet a beauty within your own eye? Our prompt suggested finding something you regard as beautiful, yet that others might consider ugly – and from that observation write your poem. Did you really kiss any frogs along the way, find your prince (or princess, we suppose)?
A gentle exercise in point of view. Dreams or nightmares, time now please to share your poetic results with us here. And our thanks for your imagination!
Review the original prompt as you wish.
Please now, share your poem with us. Leave a link to your poem in a comment below. Leave the poem itself if you don’t have a blog. If you have questions about We Write Poems and our prompt-and-poem process, or you’re new here at WWP, please read our about page.
The full prompt description you can find under “Recent Posts” on the top right of our page.

No, not so much early this week, as very very late. This being my poem to the prompt last before this. And yep, it really took me this long and three revisions to arrive at this (nearly final) draft. (Or maybe I can claim the high road and say, I’m just demonstrating that late is never too late at WWP!)

Sticking with the “beauty in the eye of the beholder” part of the prompt, here is my take!

Some of you have read the poem already. I had written its outline when The Sunday Whirl posted its list of words. The poem got written faster.

Enjoying the quiet…of the ‘now’.
This concept was difficult for me to write as a poem I felt like writing an essay about this.
