Important Note (please read): It appears most of the poems posted for Day 13's prompt have been wiped out of the system. There are currently only 49 comments. This means you'll need to re-paste your Day 13 poem into Day 13's prompt. It appears everything is fine with the first 12 days of the challenge however. I apologize for this happening, but this kind of scenario is also why I advised saving a copy before the challenge began.

*****

Today is Tuesday, which means two prompts.

First prompt: Write a love poem.

Second prompt: Write an anti-love poem.

Simple as that.

Here's my attempt for the day:

"Both day and night"

I've been there once
or twice. Waiting
for water, our
hands clasp tightly.
The electric
flickers as we
make the bed sound
like a drum. You
don't realize how
normal you are
until you want,
or how special
until you get.
