If memories were mine to paint,
I'd dip my finest brush
In the azure sky above me
Here, in this morning's hush.
~
I'd tuck it in an envelope
And seal it fast away.
I'd keep it safe, next to my heart
To give to you one day
~
When all you see are cold, gray skies
And dreams start to erode
And dark clouds threaten to descend,
To press, 'til you implode.
~
Alas, it's incorporeal.
I cannot keep it pinned,
So I will simply save my heart
And send it on the wind.

Wonderful take on the prompt, worthy of a Top Story
Lovely
Delightful! Like Poppy… my favourite stanza is the first… like a love song.
This is so gorgeous. I especially love the opening stanza. Really well done!
That ending felt do liberating! Loved your take on this challenge!
Dana, this is such a cool poem, I loved it, the rhyming the “hush” - excellent!💕💕
Dana, this was so so nice. What a way to describe a morning!
I loved the sentiment of those thoughts....lovely
The words seem simple but, somehow, they managed to make me feel the spaciousness and lightness of the clear blue sky. Lovely!
❤'d it!!!!
Wow, what a sincere sentiment captured in such a whimsical weaving of words! Great poem, Dana!
This was amazing Dana! “So I will simply save my heart, and send it on the wind” is my new favourite line of poetry ever written!
No idea what the prompt is but i totally enjoyed this poem
Goodness, I loved this so much. Perfection 🔥
Or of course, you could write it in a poem. Which I get is what you've done but I couldn't resist a moment of contrary bluntness.
