Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow


                                           
                                                                   source


Write a poem of THREE stanzas only.  Begin the first stanza with the word "Yesterday" or "Yesterday's."  Begin the second stanza with the word "Today" or "Today's."  And begin the third stanza with the word "Tomorrow" or "Tomorrow's."

Ideas:  

Write one stanza about yesterday's forest, one about today's forest, and one about tomorrow's forest.

Write one stanza about yesterday's friendship, one about today's friendship, and one about tomorrow's friendship.

Write one stanza about yesterdays car, one about today's car, and one about tomorrow's car.

Write one stanza about yesterday's goals, one about today's goals, one about tomorrow's goals.

Anyway, you get the idea:  THREE stanzas only.  Past, present, and future.

When you have written your poem, link it with Mr. Linky below.  And be sure to visit the poems of others who share.

This prompt will close Sunday night at 8 pm Eastern.

  4. I think I should have taken more of me out and put more of democracy in, but this was an experiment so I let it ride. Thanks for the challenge.
