Hello again everyone!

We’re on to Day 2 of National Poetry Writing Month, so with many more days to go this is still the tip of the iceberg but if we all stay cool then we got this 🙂

Today’s prompt over at NaPoWriMo HQ is to end a poem on a question that could potentially lead to someone continuing the poem themselves as a reader or a writer.

Here is the prompt if you too want to give it a shot yourself.

NaPoWriMo.net – A Questionable Ending – Day 2 prompt

As for my inspiration for my found poem tonight, I have used the “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S Eliot and you can find the lyrics to this wonderful poem here:-

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S Eliot over at Poetry Foundation

And now here is my own found poem, hope you all enjoy it.

“Mermaid Sunsets” by David Ellis

Let go when
The evening is certain
Of nights with oyster-like intent
Overwhelming

Let go and make room
Into the corners of lingered time
For there will be days that drop a question for you and me
Of a simple universe

In a minute known with music
That rises from lonely seas so peacefully

The strength to have seen worth
Among the porcelain smile from sunsets sprinkled
As if magic will swell
A tool to grow old

Do I dare to think that
Riding the waves when the wind blows
We have lingered in the sea till human?
Wake us and we drown
