Poetry Monday is a blogging game invented long ago.
Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings
and I are keeping it alive until Diane @ On the Border returns home
from her break of healing and relaxation, travelling the world with
her husband as far as we can tell.
We just hope she's going to take
back over once she returns home.
The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts
group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the
year, but no
worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.
Today's prompt is Northern Lights. It's also called Aurora borealis or australis, or simply Aurora. As normally when my brains are mushy, I go with a shortie. We live far enough North for Northern Lights to be sometimes visible here, but I have never seen it, when there's a warning I do often not see the warning, and when I do, it's cloudy or even rainy. An Elfje will have to tell the tale.
Aurora
I try
to catch it
They are always elusive
Lights!

Dear readers and co-bloggers, now commenting is again possible on almost all blogs.
We're still waiting for the blogrolls to update, so if you think I'm slow in commenting this might be why.
While waiting for an update on this, know that I'm still reading and enjoying your blogs, albeit a bit later than any of us would like.
Living where you do, I hope you catch them someday.
SvarSletDiane did say she would be on a blog break for two years of travel, but that was over last year and she has not come back. I think she does not want to shut down her blog totally, but will probably not do poetry Monday again.
If you are tired of it, please don't feel like you have to go on. You might send me the list of prompts from the Facebook site for the rest of this year and then simply bow out. I will understand as it's a lot to keep up with.
It's not that I'm tired, just wonering - and thinking that Diane's blog reached a larger number of 'poemers' than we do. I think it sad that the poeming crew largely consists only of you and me.
SletI won't stop! Now and then I'll post nothing (as I did for Lily last Monday), now and then I'll post shorties (Haiku or elfjes(elevenies) as for today), or longer poem (as the Dewdrop in Cobwebs) as time and mood dictates.
and taking the prompts from 365 drawing prompts as we do now, it's no bother posting them - they even have a dedicated page on my blog where I publish them for all year at once. It's hidden, but clicking the HERE in the left sidebar under Poetry Monday will take you there. Maybe I should make it more obvious ...
Good poem.
SvarSletThank you, I like those short, limited forms - more so when I'm busy.
SletWhat a fun prompt! And great rhythm.
