Theme Thursday prompt Round
Van Gogh wrote, “Life is probably round.”
Roundness
All is round
In cycles
Time
Life
Seasons
Day into night
Sun
Moon
And the planets, too
From my center
I survey the spot
I occupy
Look all around
All is radial
All is round
I look into your round eyes
See your roundness
See mine
I see the roundness of my being.

Fly Catchers
It is the third year
We have returned
Found the little platform
Built by the man
We built our nest — round
The first day I got back
I was outside the woman’s studio
At the top of my voice
I chirped, “I’m back!
I’m home!”
This year has been
A regular soap opera
I lost my wife
Then found another
She left
Mated with another fellow
Then found a wife
That would stay
We had five eggs
That were round
Raised four round chicks
Days of intensive study
Prepared them for life
We will return again next year
As they say in Texas
“God willing and
The creek don’t rise.”

oh and i come a-round just to see what your mind spills on the page next…smiles…round and round it goes…where it stops no one knows…though i hope it doesn’t…stop that is…
I love how you combined both prompts into one round theme. The second one made me laugh!
You brought the law of nature and the universe into very simple terms. What turns around comes around, true enough! It’s perfect to relate it to the 5 round eggs too!

Love how all three come round and gather all the pieces, like a rest for them to rest in,

You crafted several prompts in one – an amazing lot of fun!

Love the way you spun both around together. Your mind swirls round in wonderful ways. Thank you.
I came over from PA (impossible to comment there – too many) to say how much I enjoyed your bird poem. You found the voice to perfection.
The other round poem was a bonus!
