2012 April PAD Challenge: Day 13
Before you jump into today's prompt, please check out this WD Poetic Form Challenge: Tanka post. Every month or so, I offer a poetic form challenge that usually has a quick turnaround time, but the winning poem and poet is featured in a future issue of Writer's Digest magazine. And it's completely free to participate! Click to continue.
For today's prompt, write an unlucky poem. Today is Friday the 13th, and I think it's the perfect opportunity to wax poetic about anything and everything unlucky.
Here's my attempt:
"Lovesick B."
My baby said yes
when I was saying no;
she said speed up
when I was going slow;
my girl wanted space
when I finally had room;
she swept me away
and handed me the broom.
