Congratulations to this week’s poetry prompt random drawing winner, Randy Mazie! He’s a repeat offender regular contributor who shares his special gift for words at his blog, The Writer’s Village. His response to the Postcard Prompt is below:
Postcards from the Heart
Still in town.
I needed time to think.
Dropped this down
The chute. Had me a drink.
I need space.
I never did intend
To embrace
A love that would extend
As far as we have gone.
I need this time alone.
As close as PO Box 1378
***********************
Take it. I
Completely understand.
How and why
Are questions that command
Time and thought
Without the two, we could
Come to naught
And with the two we should
Gracefully comprehend
The next step or the end.
You know where I am.

Write a poem about (or to!) an inanimate object that has little or no monetary value.
The prompt page will be live on Monday, August 13, with a place to post your poem in the comment section, or link directly to your page. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with next!

Dear Karen,
Poetic recidivism
Is a delicious crime;
As tasting yesterday’s lines
Often prompts today’s great leftovers.
But Karen,
If I am to do the time,
The name is: Mazie
The meal is Maize.
Thank you for the honor.
I enjoy writing and reading Reason2Rhyme.
And the random-ness of my winning does not exceed
My enjoyment in participating – Thank you so much!

I’m so sorry! I read it “Mazie”, but my fingers keep typing “Maize”! Repairs are in progress…
no problem. Again, I had fun with my response 😉
Please leave it as is. I’m fine with it….
I am amazed… Randy

Good replies in return of this difficulty with firm arguments and describing everything on the topic of that.
