For today’s prompt, write a best ever poem. Now, don’t stress out. I don’t expect everyone to write the best poem ever written–however, you’re allowed to aim for that if you wish. No, I’m asking you to write a poem about the best ever something. For instance, the best ever kiss, best ever dance, best ever party, best ever comeback, best ever moment, etc. Think about your personal “bests” and then write one (or three).

Bit by bit

I lose sensation

but keep walking

around a bend

around a bend

away from all sound

all movement

My eyes still move

And my legs

And my eyes

Why must everything be

so beautiful?

On a frozen waterfall

in the distance

magnificent and dripping ice blue

I spy a little figure

half way up, armed

with just an ax

and his crampons

and no one looking

he would think

but me there

not making a sound 

in awe of all that has will

and all that needs none
