Prompt
“How long have you been single?” – Holly Troy
On Writing
Breathe the sentence in. Exhale the sentence. Inhale and exhale each word. Now inhale and exhale the sentence. Then, go!
There is only one rule, keep your hand moving.
Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. If you feel stuck, keep writing anyway. Try going back to the prompt and write it out until other words arise, then write those—or, repeat the last word you wrote again and again until new words appear—or, write, “I am stuck,” or “I can’t think of anything,” as long as you keep your hand moving. Writing is physical, the words will move through your body and come out of your hand—just keep it moving.
Now go – for five, ten, fifteen minutes . .

Hello beautiful Holly Troy. My attempt at a new poem.
” Once I knew love,
once I walked with you.
On a warm spring day.
We promised love, forever and a day.
On a cold Winter day in Germany.
We forgot what love was.
A pretty gal asked me in Austin, Texas.
How long have you been single and
I told her.
Love is for the lucky and
I was the lucky one.’
