Today, our only limit is the number of words – 55 in total.
All the authors showcased by Samuel tonight were better known for their novels, and yet considered themselves poets first and foremost. I was hooked into tonight by reference to Jude the Obscure, one of my favourite classic novels of all time.
I hope you enjoy my offering… And I will visit as many other 55 word creations as soon as I can.

– The Big Reveal –
Realisation breeds fascination
Wonder at a life of sorrow
For I have finally understood
I can start again tomorrow
Yesterday was not the blueprint
It didn’t set my future’s way
Unused hours arrayed before me
Are mine to appreciate and say –
“I am perfect, I am me
Today – is my day to be.”
