For dVerse ~ Poets Pub ~ Shed Some Light On This Today ~



The prompt for today: write a poem (any form; rhyming or not) that includes the word “shed” or a form of the word. I expect to see lots of diversity in the posts for today. Shed your inhibitions and let your imaginations run with it!


my spirit feels light after shedding tears
that were bringing fears, thoughts of  one
unwell and suffering,
how long can one remain in a dull damp shed,
 head down, waiting hoping praying 

Come Come Come'
the sun has shed off its covering
the clouds are sailing away
revealing the bright light
come let us shed our burdens
be grateful and be light

let freedom ring in
let people have the right
for enough blood has been shed
enough land has become red 
enough children and soldiers dead

so let the spirit be free 
and the soul be light
let darkness shed the pall
let there be pure and true light

Damp sheds make one want true light.
...how long can one remain in a dull damp shed.....tears shed vociferously for some one or thing or place lost.
You’ve posed some thoughtful questions here....used the word “shed” in numerous contexts.
There is some darkness in the poem but it reaches a light at the end...hopeful. I like that. Let it be so!
Very glad you posted to the prompt!

Thank you Mr Frank, Somehow the shed first appeared quite damp, but then a shed is one of the best shelters too specially in a sudden burst of shower from the skies...

it feels like a craving for hot sunlight to burn away the dampness of the dark
