From the old MSN writing groups, long closed…
More than once we had writing prompts based on photos or images. One was some type of floating supernatural ball. Wish I could find the image! This one isn’t it…but will do. From that, I wrote many versions of this poem:
COLD ONES RULE
Earthbound no more
not flying
but landless
cities melted
lights mock
our little kingdoms
domed over, micro-sized
feel your humanity
slipping, slipping….
hang on to your souls
those skittish, slippery
links to warmth
the cold ones rule
