Postcards and memories

The challenges this year are certainly some of the most creative received thus far!

Today, we are to draft a prose poem in the form/style of a postcard. As travelling is one of my absolute favourite things to do, I love this challenge!


My dearest friend

If you were here,
you'd love the ever-changing sky
of which McCall Smith so fondly speaks.
You'd love the smell of malt
that hangs in the air on a cold day,
and the crisp mornings;
the cry of the seagulls
and the toll of St Giles' bell at midnight.

I really wish you were with me,
to pinch me,
to make sure that this is indeed my reality.

I miss you and love you,
but there's nowhere else I'd rather be;
I'd rather have you here with me.

Size it up

My poem for today will include something big and something small, according to the given prompt. I've been inspired by the feeling of being small and lost, but utterly content in a foreign city.


Her size-three feet
walked the streets
in search of unknown dreams

Windows peered down
at her tiny frame
as she wandered here and there

Castles stood proud
on hills above her
as her mind became lost in the mist
