Lady bright
Found poem (Senryū)
Alone, Lady bright
Dreaming ghosts rest through the night
Why art thou so right?
~~~
This Found Poem (Senryū) was inspired by Mother Combs Poe-Found June prompt challenge. The challenge asks for a 200-word poem. That’s too much of a challenge for me, so I created my own minimalist version. All the words I used in the Senryū can be found in The Sleeper by Edgar Allan Poe.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

I read this the other day and forgot to comment. I really do like this a lot, Susan <3
Excellent work! 🌸🫶🏾
Love the image and your words
I love how instead of not coming up with anything, you decided to come up with a minimalist version. Loved it!
I LOVE THIS!
There must have been a raven on your shoulder,
I like your minimalist version, Susan. And Poe is one of my all-time favorites.
