Daily Prompt: Bleed (A Nonnet)
You get to choose one superpower. Pick one of these, and explain your choice:
- the ability to speak and understand any language
- the ability to travel through time
- the ability to make any two people agree with each other
Photographers, artists, poets: show us POWER.
Stop shouting – I hear the words you speak,
understand how you feel, unheard –
for although they may listen
their hearts can’t envision
what you really want
to say, or mean
forgetting
we all
bleed.
*Nonnet: A nonnet is a type of poem which has nine lines, with the first line having 9 syllables, the second 8 syllables, the third 7 until the ninth line has only one. Some nonnets may also have an iambic meter (stress on every other syllable).
