Immersion

An abecedarian poem in response to a weekly prompt.

This poem was inspired by a writing prompt published under The Storyteller’s Vault Poetry Writing Challenge.

Immersion

Art, my first love, leaves me

Breathless whenever I splash inside

Creative waters that

Dare me to dive, not dip, into

Earnest, ebullient expressions

For the love of craft

Giving my all, baring

Heart and soul transcribing

Intangible ideas onto

Journal pages where thoughts

Know no

Limitations

Making magical memorable moments during

Nocturnal hours

On many

Peaceful nights when

Quiet storm melodies

Rain relaxing

Serenading soft sounds

Through tantalizing tempests

Until breakthrough occurs

Validating victory

When written words lead me to

Xanadu where I

Yearn for

Zen.
