All I wanted
was a little time
to revisit Lake
Union with you, lay out
a rowboat
for us to float
the day away,
catch dragonflies
with our cameras,
zoom in to behold
their grateful smiles.
All I wanted
was a little time
to trail your footsteps
up the hillside,
scour huckleberry
bushes for berries
teeming with vital
juices, then park
myself across
the room & sip
the darkest reds
of Cabernet with you.
All I wanted
was for you to keep
your promise,
stick around
instead of leaving me
to lament
that we had
too little time.
All I wanted
was a little more time
with you.

All Those Boats Are Empty Now |
Here is the prompt for Day Eighteen (copied from Writer's Digest):
For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Little
(blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the
title of your poem, and then write your poem. Possible titles include: “Little
Guy,” “Little Richard,” “Little Mermaid,” “Little Italy,” and “Little Words
That Pack a Big Punch.” I think if you think about it for a little bit, you’ll
find a big (or little) poem to write.
