In the lead up to Issue III’s theme announcement on Sunday, 4th July, we are releasing three prompts this week which are linked in some way to the upcoming issue. These prompts can be used to inspire poetry, prose, photography & art.
Our top three favourites will be shared on the blog next week! Post your response as a comment or as a link in the comments.
Prompt 3: watch it burn
Home Fires
Gather round!
Gather round
the hearth
it’s a cosy place
if the fire is burning
and we’ll keep it burning
never fear
the flames.
Gather round
to watch them flaring
back to life
leaping
and lapping
from the once cooling embers,
watch the shapes and shades
flickering
dancing
alight
alive,
a living fire.
Gather round,
to watch it burning.

Watch it burn
She said to him
And with that
They watched the bridge go up in flames
Vowing never to return
Their love was at the point of no return
And they would let nothing keep them apart
