#Writephoto – Shut That Door

~ JezzieG

Written to the following prompt – thank you KL

Door – Image by KL Caley

My thinking is perhaps the door is closed because the traveler of life has already passed through so I am going to run with that and the Quatern has been pulled out of my form jar. Add a bit of Rascal Flatts for good measure

Shut That Door
Form: Quatern

That door is closed, that chapter done
The time has come to wander on
A knapsack rests upon my back
Each step forward and now I’m gone
Big brass bolts all shot into place
That door is closed, that chapter done
Past days secured and left behind
Now I have new chapters to write
I’ve wept the tears to heal my heart
Nothing left for me to turn back
That door is closed, that chapter done
And a new journey has begun
Bridges of ash smoking behind
The matches still warm in my hand
The path is lost with no way back
That door is closed, that chapter done

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.

  3. This is a brilliant entry Jez. I had read it on my phone but the silly thing kept logging me out when I tried to like/comment. I especially love this section:

    I’ve wept the tears to heal my heart
    Nothing left for me to turn back
    That door is closed, that chapter done
    And a new journey has begun

    Thank you so much for joining in with #writephoto. Great to see you back. KL ❤
