Day 28: NaPoWriMo

And now for today’s prompt (optional, as always). Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem about bridges. A bridge is a powerful metaphor, and when you start looking for bridges in poems, you find them everywhere. Your poem could be about a real bridge or an imaginary or ideal bridge. It could be one you cross every day, or one that simply seems to stand for something larger – for the idea of connection or distance, for the idea of movement and travel and new horizons.

Happy writing!

I use “bridge” as connection to our Creator. My inspiration came from surah Al-A’raf:23.

Night has come

covered the earth

Asking sun to go far a way

Moon and stars were joking

Smiling in night’s wings

 

Yonder

In the small house

A man was talking

By himself

Raising up his arms

Crying

Saying Allah….Allah….Allah

O my Lord, I have wronged

Myself, and if You

Do not forgive me and

Have mercy upon me

I will surely be

Among the losers.

 

Moon and stars were

Hearing his praying

They stopped to joke

then night becomes sad

without their lights.
