NaPoWriMo Day 23 prompt to be brief but on point
poem
Subquishable
In their dreams
they sleep with the moon
by Mary Oliver from Death at Wind River
Subquishable wants to know where did you go; your background and foreground; lay of the line. Keep it personal, submittable, short and divine, but the words aren’t right because some have already been taken, so touché to cliche! Use them anyway. If structure is not your master, remember Cummings put a letter anywhere. When punctuation creeps into the fray, there is no rule that wants to stay. Hang those commas in the air; see them everywhere. Use the Dickinson dash without remorse. Watch out for song and rhyme because it just might make a poem subquishable.

dVerse prompt on prosery combined with a line from Mary Oliver. This prose poem is definitely subquishable.
Poem As Prophecy
a poem enters the unknown
word by word
steps out on its own
it delivers like a quiver
carrying ammunition
of what is and will be
makes us sing
a song we always knew
that we can hold onto
to dance away the day
