2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 28

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 28 is remix time.

With today's poems, we'll cross the four-week threshold and have only two days remaining. Let's do this!

For today's prompt, write a remix poem. This is one of my favorite prompts, and I've used it in previous chapbook challenge months. Take a poem you've written in the past (preferably from this challenge, but it doesn't have to be) and remix it. This could be a different take on the same subject, or retrofitting a free verse poem into a traditional form (or vice versa). Have fun with it.

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

Here’s my attempt at a Remix Poem:

“rainbows”

wherever there's
sun & rain
love & pain
you'll find them
juxtaposed
against the sky
like a song
for the eye.

(For today's remix, I revisited my attempt for the Day 8 prompt.)
