Deepthy is this week’s Poet of the Week for the W3 Weekly #73 poetry prompt. Here are her prompt guidelines.
THE POETRY PROMPT GUIDELINES Write a poem inspired by the following quote: And in that moment, I swear we were infinite. –Stephen Chbosky (b.1970), The Perks of Being a Wallflower You may choose to include the quote itself in the poem or not; Feel free to choose a form that best suits your poem!
I wrote a senryū to include the quote by Stephen Chbosky. My feeling is that I am a cheat, as his words make up two-thirds of my poem. I painted the abstract digital painting in pink as I’ve decided the universe is pink in That Moment.
And in that moment I swear we were infinite stars in outer space Lesley Scoble & Stephen Chbosky, September 2023
