Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 305
April update (for those interested): Poems are off with the screening readers.
For this week's prompt, write a loss poem. If that doesn't work for you, feel free to write a lost poem. Or write a lost poem filled with loss. Prompts are just sparks; the fire burns where it will.

Here's my attempt at a Loss Poem:
"blue"
there's no moon over kentucky tonight:
someone stole it
& left a note
that it won't be coming back.
