April Poetry Challenge 2021: Day Twenty-Seven

 


Day 27 Prompt: Believe / Not 

Form: Echo Verse


“Told to believe”


They say all it takes is belief. Grief

is what it causes for so many. Any

person can say the words. Words

are empty vessels we fill, until

the vowels drip with sight, bright

and hot to the tongue. Unsung

songs lost in our reactions, distracted

with questions about life, strife

not solved with our speech. Breached

are the promises we were sold, told

to believe, to believe.
