For today’s prompt, write a settled poem. Settled can be a good, relaxing thing; settled can be an accepting something that wasn’t your first choice thing; settled can be coming to a stop; settled can be pioneers in a strange land; and so on. With only three days left, don’t settle for less than your best.
SETTLED POEM
by John Yeo
The forgotten argument is settled
The war is over now,
Peace in our time
With many lives lost
Much blood has been spilled
To establish the peace
Has been settled.
A butterfly lazily drifted
From flower to flower in the field
Then stopped to taste the nectar
From the blood-red poppies there.
The butterfly settled to feast.
