Napowrimo 2020 Day 13 - Things that have lost their power
Published on:
#posts #poetryAfter Sei Shonagon
Sunflowers in November.
A hospital before the backup
generator kicks in after
the breakdown of negotiations
between selfish men, far away.
Nebulae the size of our
solar system in colours
unimaginable and invisible.
Weston-Super-Mare beach
at low tide. Those discarded
phones that lie in a drawer,
former luxuries, former heights
of technology that collect dust
and wait to be useful again.
The wind after a storm.
A warlord sat by themselves
on a plastic chair, in a
featurless room, waiting.
Those three am thoughts.
Prompt was to "Rewrite a Sei Shonagon list" from AmyKay Poetry
I found a article of her lists here and was drawn to this title.
