For today's prompt, write a communication poem. All poems communicate something, I know, but I'm thinking of different ways people can communicate: text message, letter, signs, and even speaking dialogue. Of course, there are forms of communication as well, because people love communicating. — Robert Lee Brewer, Writer’s Digest
loud and clear
It has been said that
having a child is
letting your heart
walk around outside of your body.
And so when you lose one,
but still have one,
the temptation to put a cage around it
can be almost all-consuming.
When that one
then leaves the nest
because it was time,
You learn to say “I love you”
to each other
long distance
in a lot of little ways,
And one of those is
exchanging pictures of cute dogs
on Instagram.
