Creative writing prompt from www.storymakersclub.com

Start with sentence 7 on page 7 of a book on your shelf

"Never Have I Contemplated" how it might end.

Never have I contemplated

through my own will or force

a rosy end generated 

unless by a divine divorce

and I mean of course

through no action of my own

will I escape being stoned. 

  *******************************

A poem can do many things but a "Poem Cannot Conclude." 

Escalate a friendly philosophical debate     

Expound on which poetic meter is best

Everlasting loves or one only second rate 

Envision holy sanctity of a house wren’s nest   

Enrage and inflame the political breast  

Express sweetness and be point blank rude

Expect anything but simply cannot conclude.

I must try this. It has its own beating heart. A bit like pulling oneself up by ones bootstraps.
