For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Follow (blank),” replace the blank with a new word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: “Follow the Leader,” “Follow Me on Twitter,” “Follow Your Heart,” and/or “Follow the Light.” So many things to follow or not. — Robert Lee Brewer, Writer’s Digest
Follow through
When the course is set
and you know what to do,
it still takes grit
to follow through.
Even writing these words:
as I sit to compose
my brainwaves shift,
my focus goes.
But through, we know,
‘s the best way out
and following
leaves little doubt
Recall your attention
to the chosen task,
persist in your effort
is all you can ask.
If you just keep going
once you’ve begun it
following through
will ensure you’ve done it.
