Yesterday’s prompt was a roaring success with a number of people sending me poems. So let’s continue down that path. Words have more than one world in them. “Still” means unmoving. But it also means still here. Still happening. “Spare” means extra, but it also means to spare someone, to wound less. “Slip” can be falling or a piece of silk.
You don’t need to define the word… just hold both meanings.
How can you make us shake with the double-meaning?
Here’s a not-very-good-example:
Still
You are still.As in quiet.As in not gone.As in the silence that isn’t absencebut waitingto be named.
