GloPoWriMo 2018 - day nine

The prompt today is to bring together something very big and something small.


One book.

There is a photograph of a wall that one can view on the internet.
It is a wall with an irregular and inappropriate 'lump' in it.
The wall has been built of bricks, strong and red, but with one small
And thin book laid on the ground as part of the foundations.
That one small thing has changed the whole of the wall.
When walking, in sturdy and substantial boots, the ingress of
A small stone is sufficient to render the walker into a state of
Great discomfort and pain; the stone, so tiny, can cause not only
Pain but blistering and can ultimately prevent the walker
From completing their journey.
The world is a dangerous place, there are many politicians
And bankers and businessmen who seek to control all that
Everyone does in order to maintain their inflated bank balances.
But all of these superior people can be challenged, and even one
Voice crying 'foul' could be enough to trigger the revolution . . .

GloPoWriMo 2018 - day six.

Today the prompt is to use line breaks in a way that stretches my comfort zone.



Triptych.

Three people stand there, all
          in the same place but
                 actually all in different places
Entirely.
                 The brain is a country that is
Closed to all
       But those who live in it, and
       Even then it is mysterious, and
       Maps get lost.
One woman, confused in
Her mind, with
       One man who loves and
       Tries to guide her, and
                There is the photographer, a
                Selfie-taker caught in
                A mirror, and trapped
                As an insect in amber.
                                        The frame serves
                                 To divide the
                          Three of them at
                   The same time as
              It keeps them all
        Together, despite
    The tide of
Dementia.
