Wednesday Poetry Prompts: 253
I try to plan out prompts ahead of time, because it's hard enough to think of a poem on the spot. When I looked at today's prompt, I had to laugh, because it's something I won't be doing today--since I've been summoned for jury duty.
For today's prompt, write a work poem. It can be about an occupation, working up a sweat, trying to avoid work, or however you wish to take it. Work is a loaded word, so I'm expecting a great variety of angles on this prompt.
Here's my quick attempt at a work poem (after all, I've got to get to the court house):
"Miley"
Some people love only to work
while others prefer to just twerk,
still other folks find they can work
and pay all their bills as they twerk.
