Poem

Writing prompt: Write a poem using the following words: crash, crumpled paper, straw, gravel, ochre.

Dreams of vapor
Like crumpled paper
Crash.

Their poisoned ash
Of charred straw,
Now ground ochre,
Fail to soothe and succor.

Stones of flawed awe
Pounded by the gavel
Lie smashed –
Trashed gravel.
