Reena's Reena’s Xploration Challenge #320
Kevin's No Theme Thursday (02/29/24)
darkness
disperses to
diminished chance of light
as compressed skies suffocate to
smokes rise
breaths of
disaster ex-
haled with force to destroy
life’s worth underplayed by the living
itself
echoes
of despair now
quiet – earth mourns ruins of
humanity or by…in faith
heads bow
From Reena : We have a word prompt for this week.
Choose any one word from the following to use in your piece.
abridged
compressed
diminished
underplayed
( seems "abridged" could not find a place amongst these words...so made it the title 😬)

there is no wasted word in your poems, they are economical yet filled and expansive. I guess I was thinking about the words, abridged and compressed, and reflecting on how your poetry defies limits.
