thoughts
the mind goes far
here and now
there and then
be still, hear
the veil holds the truth

No image for this poem, I’d love to know what your thoughts are: Happy, sad, a start or an ending. What is this poem about? As the prompt asks, a dramatic moment where something changes.

Thanks, Ange for the great prompt!

II. Ange’s prompt: One-syllable challenge

For this week’s W³ challenge, writers are invited to capture a dramatic moment in just a handful of lines — a storm breaking, a glass shattering, a door slamming, a sudden realization, or any instant where something changes sharply or unexpectedly.

You may write in any poetic form, with the following restrictions:

1. Your poem must be between 5 and 8 lines long.
2. Every single word in the poem must be one syllable long.
3. You are allowed one multi-syllable word — but it must appear as the very last word of the poem.

Have fun with the tension this creates. Sometimes the smallest words carry the greatest force.
