Shape Poem: Wisp

 The Wednesday Poetry Prompt from Writer's Digest this week is to write a shape poem. As it is something I've never tried, I thought I'd give it a shot. Here it is (if the formatting plays nicely...):

            Wisp

       w

    i      s

      p

        o

          f

         s

      m

    o

    k

     e

     .

     .

     .

    it

    is

    a

 small

 thing,

 like a

 whisp

 -ered

 prayer

 rising

from an

      extinguished

       candle after

        my exhale.
