Bits of Inspiration ~ Bracelet ~ NaPoWriMo 2016 ~ Day 7

Hello everyone! It is day 7 of April poetry. It is a wonderful/chaotic time. I will keep today's prompt simple. Write a poem about a bracelet. My quotes are for inspiration, but you aren't limited to them. Let your muse lead. Please write a new poem, share it on Mr. Linky, and then visit your fellow poets.

Issac's servant trying the bracelet on Rebecca's arm
Benjamin West ~ 1775


I curl up, make myself smaller, try to disappear entirely. Wrapped in silence, I slide my bracelet that reads 'mentally disoriented' around and around my wrist. Suzzane Collins

Procrastination is the best action against putting an ankle bracelet on future. Mehmet Murat lldan

She was so evidently the victim of the civilization which had produced her, that the links of her bracelet seemed like manacles chaining her to her fate.
Edith Wharton

Our domestic Napoleons, too many of them, give flattery, bonnets and bracelets to women, and everything else but - justice ... Fanny Fern

Good memories are like charms...Each is special. You collect them, one by one, until one day you look back and discover they make a long, colorful bracelet. James Patterson

Great prompt for a sevenling... and now I'm almost on track despite starting late. My 6th poem so far.

I just added an 's' to the prompt and ran with a kyrielle sonnet. I am really trying to experiment with different poetry forms and styles while I have some Easter holidays to squander. Next week will probably be a different story.

My thanks to each of you. I am humbled to be part of such incredible talent in the garden and those who stop by to share their work. I am blessed.

Who'd a thunk that someone would come with the word, 'Bracelet?'
Susie (oops!) would. It was a fun write, thank you.

This revived a special memory. I combined it with the dVerse sevenlings prompt.

I wrote a very ambivalent bracelet poem today, combined with the Poetic Asides prompt, Urban ____. There are beautiful things I want to say about cities and about my city, but I'm not feeling those things at the moment. Maybe some of it is just the weather!
