I read a book that gutted me
I turned each page immersed
in worlds far away
in sacrifice.
This masterpiece past any piece
of writing I could do.
Now Twitter says,
that author follows you.
My joy is tangled in my grief
that I may be worth
the following!

Great poem! Today’s prompt was complex in you had to find a poem that spoke to you and then point it in a new direction. And there are so many good poems and poets to choose from.
Yes. It was something that interested me. Happily, the prompts are always optional!
This reminds me of a line from “A Farewell to Arms”: “Yes. Wouldn’t it be pretty to think so.”
