Hope everyone had a good National Poetry Month and completed the April Poem-A-Day Challenge. Apologies for not reposting the Poetic Asides prompt as promised.
This month’s visual prompt (courtesy JeanMarie) is above so post your poems in the comments below.
Living Poetry 
You stare with your cracked grin
much like a Cheshire cat
let’s see how deadness feels
when you’re discarded
in the recycle bin
I’ll keep the memory chip
and grind it in my workshop

This phone
was my last defense to
not letting you go
It has been 5 years
since we last spoke
last smiled
last touched
last kissed
This phone
stored our love
our life together
Today
I chose to live on
without you
without us
So
I break our tie
to set both of us free
