Eight Word Poetry

This week's writing exercise was to write eight word poems. inspired by three images. I thought this was really a fun one, and the entries were all great to read. Some were more like poignant captions, others were poetic snippets.

Here are the results: 

Mama's here
My son.
Always near
Sleepy one.
~Dawn


Sad baby.
Afghan.
 Needs love.
Looks sick.
Hug.   

~Middle Child

It's just not fair,
 I'm still so small!

~Desiree

Mommy,
Where are you
I need you.

~Interruption

I really don't like waiting for my food.
~Gail


Sometimes life is expressed in tears.
I'm alive.
~Shen

Emotions weathered.
I don't belong.
Trapped and tethered.
~Dawn


 Reindeer by water.
Where did you come from?  

~Middle Child

No one told me about beaches back home!

~Desiree

Misplaced,
Lost,
Sacrifice,
Run you are in danger.
~Interruption

How the heck did I end up here?
~Gail


Wait...
What's this? 
Santa?
This snow is hot!
~Shen

Spirits soar,

Carefree fun,

Simple times

Being young.

 ~Dawn

 Jump into the desert.
Don't fall off.
Bounce.

~Middle Child

See me jump.

This is so much fun!

~Desiree

Which one of you 'innocents' is the prisoner?
~Interruption


I hope I don't bounce off this trampolene.
~Gail
