The Key of Listening
A free verse on the prompt ‘key’ and ‘listen’
Relationships tarnished making you famished, with me skulking, at the back of your mind rusting; waiting for you, to have that stroke of insight, for I am that key to close your box of plight! Which you never use, who could cut you loose from this noose of blame-game; and help you frame that dame in your heart, and befriend your lost friend; making amends with the father who’s not your fiend; all you have to do is start using, the simple little key of listening!
Thank you for reading!

This is based on the last prompt of the prompt challenge ‘key’ and also a prompt that I missed at the beginning of this challenge — ‘listen’.
Also Amy Marley’s poem on key was the inspiration behind this.
With this, we come to an end of a month long challenge. It was a wonderful literary month alongside creative writers — Amy Marley, Rasheed Hooda, Indra Raj Pathak, Bob Jasper, who took up this challenge. This challenge was the ‘key’ in opening all my creative doors; especially poetry. I learnt about various genres during this challenge. As someone new to the craft of writing, it really helped me hone my craft, improve, learn and explore, and I’ll continuing doing the same.
A big thanks to Amy Marley once again — you have a huge role in this. And also Dr Mehmet Yildiz for sheltering maximum of my writings in this challenge.
