I borrowed another prompt from my friend April; today it was “go.” Several meanings of the word came to mind, including that it is the numeral five in Japanese.
Reblogged from the Lexington Poetry Month blog.
Go
five days have I come
down to water’s edge
and bowed, head touching
knees, so that the fifth
day I might begin
the long journey home



That is terrific!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
