The #MastoPrompt for Friday 3 January 2025 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please include alt-text if you're able to.
SERIAL MONOGAMY
If you’re a serial
Monogamist, it’s easy
To let one relationship
Segue into the next;
The old love fades out
Quietly, and the new
One fades in gently
Without anyone really
Knowing. One has a
Slight increase in touch,
The other slight absences
Of the tactile. Tracks shift
A little, the key changes
Subtly, and the new tune
Raises its volume after
The discreet and required
Pause in beats.
