words don’t matter
you do
across a table
carrying our years
cups in hand
shadow pens
starry paper
ray dotted cheeks
called-out names like a song
jane says look up
we rewrite the room

Love this. Even remembered the coffee.
Thanks! It was a special moment with a childhood friend that I love dearly.
You have done so well with this challenge Bridgette 👏👏
That’s so kind! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Bridgette ❤️ you are very welcome
What a beautiful piece of minimalist poetry. In just a few carefully chosen lines, you’ve created an atmosphere of warmth, friendship, and shared history. I especially love the opening, “words don’t matter, you do.” It immediately shifts the focus from conversation to presence, reminding us that genuine connection often exists beyond language.
I’m so glad this one resonated with you. It was a beautiful moment with a friend and I wanted to capture it for forever.
This was a really enjoyable read! Great work. I’d love for you to check out my latest work at lucazani.ink, if you’re interested! Appreciate any feedback.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
The poem has beautiful imagery, and a promising closing.
So glad you think so! Thank you.
I like this because it’s simple but also very poetic, full of compressed meaning.
That’s so kind. I’m working on small poems this week because I’m crazy busy. Not sure they are all working, but that’s okay. It’s more about a process than every poem being a gem.
