rallentanda POW Prompt 3: something a little less mind bending this time. From ‘Fulbright Scholars’ Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes. write a poem inspired by this quote; photo: Is it on Earth ?, bleuet / Anne-Marie. flickr

It was the first fresh peach I had ever tasted.
I could hardly believe how delicious.
At twenty five I was dumbfounded afresh
By my ignorance of the simplest things.
…….

here’s my inspiration…..

in a crouched position
staring back at you
the world becomes
second best
