Morning @alanparry83.bsky.social and all at @brokenspinearts.bsky.social Crossing fingers this #PoemsAbout fits the #Gutterprayer theme as I'm not sure what they are.

Hello @brokenspinearts.bsky.social and host @alanparry83.bsky.social
I confess a difficulty with this week's #PoemsAbout #GutterPrayer; how to write one without it sounding preditable. 😕

For @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

This poem is based on prompt 2: Cathedral of Cracks.

Prompt: Find divinity in destruction. What if the cracked pavement is the altar?

Not so much a prayer, more a yelp of pain, in response to today's #poemsabout #gutterprayer prompt. Many thanks @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

Apparently I'm not the only one who struggled with this week's #PoemsAbout theme #GutterPrayer from @brokenspinearts.bsky.social and @alanparry83.bsky.social. Inspiration finally came when scuttling through an April downpour... 😆 Love seeing all the different ways the prompt is interpreted! 🙌

Hi Alan Parry.
Thank you for the thoughtful, apt prompt!
Feeling time impoverished at the moment, but really want to join in with you, so have written this little piece, this morning in response to your theme. Thx!🩶☮️

Gutter/Prayer

prayer; or spell?

longtime sweeping, sweeping - toothbrush tiny - such dry earth between the kerb
and the pathway.

So

will she find just dust, ancient dust?
or will she reveal a solitary - persistent -

many petalled wildflower?

Spell; or prayer?

Although part of a collection on the Easter rising in Dublin it also fits for #PoemsAbout #GutterPrayer It’s about Michael Mallin in the voice of his son ,a priest, who, in this imagined prayer, struggles with absence and inherited memory. @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social
