Writing Prompt #9: Handle with Care

Posted on September 8, 2016November 7, 2024 by amypeveto

Writing Prompt(This month’s writing prompt is Handle with Care: Write about a very fragile or delicate object.)

I went with haiku because I’m a masochist.

Heart

When you hold my hand,
You hold my heart in your grasp.
Please don’t squeeze too hard.

Rose

My cheeks are your rose.
I save my best colors for you.
Lean in and kiss me.

Egg

So small and fragile.
Yet contained within is the
Secret to the world.

Peace

Put down your weapons.
We don’t have room for them here.
Let’s hold hands instead.

Bones

The crack, the splinter.
Red and white exposed to air.
Only time can mend.

Silence

A pressing stillness.
Feeling the heartbeat, the breath.
Breathe deeply with me.
