our fingers
connected

as one on soft

older than us
that has held

it will be our piece

A wild Saturday prompt appeared! Something a little different in response to Eugi’s prompt on Meadows.

The ending is breathtaking, and I love the colors. Fun movement throughout. Really helps the reader stretch and enjoy the words.

Thank you! I don’t usually play with formatting, but I was inspired to for this poem.

Love the layout of this and of course your poem is beautifully written as always. Is it easier to make adjustments to the wording now that WP has given us more options? I haven’t played around with the settings yet, so kinda wondering if it’s still tough to do.

Thank you!
I wrote it in my Google Keep app and then copy and pasted it into the WordPress desktop app and used a preformatted block. So if it looks good on your end I’m guessing it worked 😉 (though I suppose that’s a lot of steps).
I’m doing one tomorrow too, but for that one I did a screen grab and saved it as a picture

Yeah it really did work and I was viewing it on my IPhone which rarely shows a great layout of anything. So keep doing what you did, it looks great! 😃 The screen shot is probably the easiest. I can’t wait to see it. I’m sorry I couldn’t read all of your posts while I was on vacation. I’ll have to spend some time figuring out what I missed while I was gone.

I hope you went somewhere nice! I’m going to post my May retrospective on Wednesday to help save you from some of the crap 🤣

I did! I kinda went all over the place, but ended up in Florida for the majority of my trip. Wednesday’s retrospective will definitely help. 😉
