100% of the Time

Most of the time,
well, all of the time
I wonder, think, dream

About things

About things that
matter

The rest of the time
I don’t

Prompt: Take the phrase, “100% (blank);”
replace the blank with a new word or phrase;
make the new phrase the title of your poem

Panic

BOOM!
Hit like a freak wave crashing on delicate sand

Scattering tiny plastic buckets
Destroying castles
Interrupting pleasant reverie
Sweeping away bliss

Water and wave retreat
Oblivious

Prompt: Visitor, expected or unexpected,
welcome or unwelcome

Sacred or Profane

Oh, Talking Stick! Sacred to
my Native American friend

Why? Have you withheld your
power

To teach respect and be
tolerant of my point of view

The Eagle Feather
blinds

The Owl Feather
deceives

The Deer Skin
chafes

Rabbit has
tiny ears

The Spirits of the Wind
flee

Please
tell me.

Prompt: Communication
