Writing prompt for tinywords 17.2
Welcome to Mars. Plenty of room to roam and scout out that perfect picnic spot. Or maybe you see something entirely different.
In this writing prompt we share a scene from a rover’s point of view. No, not that kind of rover. The interstellar data-collecting kind on wheels. Check out this truly other-worldly scene taken by Opportunity, the Mars rover that has been roaming that desolate landscape since 2004. The robot sent back this image from its extended vacation.
We hope it sparks in you some untapped poem. Send it to us! Not any poem: In keeping with our tinywords ethos of course, we are looking for haiku or other tiny poems. Brevity, please.
Use the comments box below to share your response. We’ll share the best discovery to open the new issue of tinywords (17.2) due out in late September, 2017. Thanks.
Thanks for dropping by and for sharing your poems.

I wish you could see
how the sun sets from up here
tell mom I miss her

Nothing but red dust
on Mars, or is it just me
looking into your eyes

Red everywhere
up to the horizon
the force of passion

let some good drift in
to us from our universe –
be present here now

Sand dunes
Brighten high on sunset
Nothing on earth to control.

when he turned
to reach for Eurydice

every sunrise
she thinks of earth
and we listen
September 20th, 2017 at 7:33 pm
even the rover
tires of wandering
this way or that,
a film of red dust
in its eyes
September 20th, 2017 at 7:34 pm
people dreamt of walking
in this dust world—
had they only known
what it is to live forever
in a single shade of red
September 20th, 2017 at 7:35 pm
longing for sky blue
and azure seas,
I wrap myself in red
dust so fine it lingers
deep inside me
September 20th, 2017 at 7:36 pm
tread gently
wherever it is
you are going –
counting days and nights
we make our way home
September 20th, 2017 at 7:37 pm
I always knew
I’d follow wherever
you wandered –
the taste of fine red dust
lingers in our kisses

as if learnings
not enough…
to the god of war

so much emptiness not knowing where to start

sandy oceans
ruby rust
rush of emotions
below stardust
