Reposted from my comment on the original prompt:
“I like the prompt! Here’s my poem, called “When I Watch You”:

When I shut my eyes…I ended up in the head of Graham Dalton from “Sex, Lies, and Videotape”. Weird, I know, but here it is.”

Sorta inspired by the prompt, which I just read today:
Ashes to Ashes
Morning Gold
yowza i’ve missed two weeks! wow, time goes by fast…
here’s my stuff this week
i also went ahead and wrote one for last week, so that’s up just pre-this-one at my blog just in case you were interested.
I Touched Him
A poem about looking, or not looking, at my son. Does anyone else ever write a poem, then happen to check in for the prompt and find they match? I love coincidence!
Here’s mine, a watching from several years ago, on an early morning downtown street.
My first, and not last, get your poem on:

Shine

Here’s mine. I was originally reluctant to tackle this prompt because I thought I would just end up brooding about my ex, but in fact it’s about someone completely different:
When I watch you (terza rima)
Here’s mine…this was a fun one!
