For this week’s d’Verse Poetics Prompt, Ingrid (In her final d’Verse Prompt 🙁) has encouraged us to reflect on place & space, what/where our favourite one is, and compose a poem in response in: Poetry of Place & Space. Below lies my contribution to the prompt, hope ye enjoy the read! 🤞🙏😁📖
CALMNESS BESEECHES; WAITING FOR WORDS TO DROP
My favourite place/space is…
The corner seat of a coffee shop
Is just grand.
Sipping on a mocha, hot
Pen in hand,
Waiting for some words to drop
Running down an empty street
Under moonlight
With my always restless feet.
It’s where I fight
My demons… untill I defeat
Reclining on the leather couch
Observing them interact.
As they play; squeal & shout
I find contentment that
Scatters my worries south.
Long walks on sandy beaches
Listening to sea waves crash
Soothing the farthest reaches
Of your mind, becoming unattached
From the world. Calmness beseeches

These all are attractive, soothing places. My favorite would be the edge of the living room sofa.

The beach and coffee shop are a couple of my favorites as well. The beach is far from me so it’s not often that I experience it.
