Hello beautiful poets and poem lovers! Welcome to another great new week!! The prompt for last week was, "Intuition" and we got some great submissions!
Thank you all for taking your time to engage.
Now For this week's topic.
There’s a moment when time runs out, when words go unsaid, doors close, or the chance we clung to slips through our fingers. For this prompt, explore the emotional weight of being too late.
• What was missed? A person? An opportunity? A truth that came just a little too slow?
• What stopped you? Fear, pride, distance, time, or simply not knowing?
• What remains? Regret, relief, acceptance, longing, or maybe a lesson carved deep?
Bonus challenge: Let the poem circle time. Moments you had, moments you lost, and the one moment that changed everything.
Write with tenderness, honesty, and the ache of, “what could have been.” Let silence and absence speak just as loud as your words.
