Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 187
Before getting to the prompt today, a few notes. First, it's the final day to submit a pitch for the 2014 Poet's Market book. Poets who want to submit poems for the next edition still have until September 1. In both cases, check the guidelines. Second, PA regular Khara House recently shared an inventive way to play with words on my personal blog. Click here to read her Word Play post. Finally, I just received my desk copies of the 2013 Writer's Market. Click here to learn more about the latest and greatest Writer's Market.
For today's prompt, write a poem that includes the following five words: change, wrap, bottle, bargain, bear.
Here's my attempt:
"For the way you live"
Change everything, the way you wrap your mind
around a bargain, the way you bottle the things
you might have said, the way you verb your nouns,
because I can't bear hug my way out of that moment
when everything seemed so perfect and true.
