"right here, right now"
all we have is right now—
that morning you dropped your umbrella
and puddles burst into applause
looking for the right person—
then seeking the right time—
chasing seconds like fireflies
pinpointing the right place:
location, location, location—
our compasses spinning free
so here’s the thesis: home lives in joined footsteps—
come wander with me
when all we’ve got is right here... right now

I’m excited to share “right here, right now,” a poem about seizing the moment,
chasing sparks of connection, and discovering home in simple steps.
No spoilers—just lean in, let the imagery of umbrellas, fireflies, and spinning compasses guide you.
What line speaks to you most? Where do you find your “right here, right now”?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. 🕊️👍📝📲
Maybe those who love prompts will happen to seize on one of these choice suggestions. If only they'd see this!!! As for me, I must always be on the alert for twinkling bits of inspiration.
It would appear to be so. Must harness what lends itself to the bridle, I guess.... Let the stars twinkle on a spread of evening sky! Thanks so much🕊️🙏🏻
This is one of those rare poems that can be read in any order or its lines scrambled and still makes sense in much the same way. It has a lovely care free carpe diem feel to it and gets a fave for its creativity.
Thanks Soren, it seems good to have a bit of fun with whatever we may be doing. Thanks as always. You are most appreciated 🕊️🙏🏻
2/3 - now this is beginning to look interesting... let's see where the day takes us!
Thanks for the Faves dears, @Cheeky Missy and @sorenbarrett
A very nicely written creative write, which I have enjoyed right here right now.
Thank you so much dear friend. Glad that you enjoyed it🕊️🙏🏻
You are very welcome
My friend, this is soft but certain...like a hand held out in the rain. The repetition of “right” becomes something deeper here—not about precision, but presence. That final line lands quiet and true. A love poem disguised as a compass. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Shhhh……. it’s an open secret 🤫🤪
😝 Indeed, the best kind! 🤣
Good write, arqios. Still thinking about it.
Thanks Jerry, hope it’s a good thinking and not a bothersome one🕊️🙏🏻
Good write A.
Thanks O🕊️🙏🏻
BRAVO
An interesting and enjoyable read about the now. The ever still moment in a fast moving life and world. I really enjoyed this poem.
