2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 19
For the 2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 19 may or may not involve mythology.
For today's prompt, take the phrase "The Myth of (blank)," replace the blanks with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles might include: "The Myth of Falling in Love," "The Myth of a Relaxing Vacation," "The Myth of Ash Ketchum," and/or "The Myth of the Perfect Pizza."
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a The Myth of Blank Poem:
“The Myth of a Work-Life Balance”
He spends the morning in bed
staring up at a ceiling fan
with the one he loves in his arms
wondering if he sent that final email.
