In fact, we had to toss my equestrian safety helmet, which was cracked.

Just for fun, I tried concocting a “Big Day Poem” to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Posted for a variety of prompts:
Meme Express (“Olympics”)
Poetry Train
The Game of Peace
(Haikus at Play)
The world’s finest congregate.
For the Olympics.
Beginning the games,
Shelving hostilities here,
For two world-watched weeks.
Can it continue?
Could good sportsmanship carry
Past the final race?

That’s where life began,
(Written upon request of Mad Kane’s prompt on “temper” and Read-Write-Poem’s “study in contrasts” prompt.)
Temper tossed away,
Clipping pins from live grenades,
Lobbing verbal bombs.
Hair-trigger anger,
Set off by a sudden noise,
Post-traumatic stress.
Who did this to you?
And who painted the target
On peacemaker’s back?
Call off the bombers.
The secret snipers are gone.
No reason to shoot.
(Written upon request of Mad Kane’s prompt on “poems on poetry” or “poems on writing.”)
Words of Life –
A Trifold Haiku of Life Told True
What is poetry?
Images, metaphors, words
Or a work of art?
Hearts poured on parchment,
Lives shared, through spirits expressed.
Never-ending truth.
What is poetry?
Untaught, but experienced.
Poetry is life.
