Today the dVerse Poets Pub has tasked us with pouring a powerful spirit poem cocktail. Or go ghostie with it. Get into the spirit of the holidays. Is your muse a restless spirit? Write about it! Use it as an adjective: spiritual, or spirited (lively, full of energy). Spirit can even be a verb: to convey rapidly and secretly.
A free spirit
(not by choice but
circumstance)
treading wet cement.
Stuck alone and
ripped apart.
Neither seeking nor
being sought,
but waiting in limbo.
What else can you do
when your puzzle’s
missing piece
is anxiously awaiting
your arrival
on the Other Side?
