For today’s prompt, write a set poem. Collectors often try to complete the set, though some break up the set. Some people set the record straight. Some things need to set (like glue or paint). I hope you’re ready to set the world on fire with your poems. Ready, set, go.

Here’s my attempt at a Set Poem:
“the sun will set”
the sun will set in june
with or without a moon
& children stay awake
afraid of what night takes
the leaves will all fall soon
regardless of the moon
& children fall asleep
with secrets that they keep
i settle in my swoon
with this cold winter moon
& children seek & hide
their fears far from the light
& there’s the silent loon
as constant as the moon
& children start to sing
of love & lighter things
