2022 April PAD Challenge: Day 27

After today, we'll be three poems from finishing this challenge. Woot!

For today's prompt, write a remix poem. Take one of your poems (preferably from this month) and remix it. Make free verse a traditional form or vice versa.

Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Remix Poem:

"SOUNDS"

We followed the hound through the woods
until he found what he'd been searching for
the lost person with hands bound behind
their back rolling round and round the ground
like a pitcher circling the mound after giving
up another run in an already open wound.

(This is a remix of the Wordy 30 poem I wrote on Day 21.)
