crisp orange leaf floats like a melody its music reverberating through the silent woods
I wrote this septolet for this week’s Wea’ve Written Weekly at the Skeptic’s Kaddish. Here’s the prompt for the week:
- Write a “Septolet” that refers to something that is held, something that one might hold.
The Septolet is a poem consisting of exactly seven lines containing exactly fourteen words with a break anywhere in between the two verses. Both verses deal with the same thought and create a picture.

its beautiful indeed, thanks.

Sarah! This is so so beautiful!
The only thing is that your septolet has 6 lines, and a septolet is s’posed to have exactly 7 lines…
Much love,
David

😀 haha, yes, that makes sense! I must have mixed up a line break somewhere. I’ll fix it.
