April Poem-A-Day Challenge
Since my internet access was practically nonexistent over the weekend, here are the last few day's pieces.
Day 19
Prompt:
"write a poem about a moment (or moments) you can't remember yourself that are about yourself."
Too soon
Just one of those times
when all goes amiss.
From what I've been told,
it happened like this.
I'd just spent a month
confined to my home
and from cabin fever
depressed I had grown.
On my first night out
I decided to drink,
unfortunately
I just didn't think
of the antibiotics
that I had been on
about a week before,
if even that long.
It started just fine,
the first pint or two,
I'd started to forget
what I had been through.
Then all of a sudden,
around pint number four,
I'd turned much more pale
than I'd been before.
I said 'I don't feel well",
though that was quite clear
and obviously
it wasn't just the beer.
I sat for a while
thinking that it might pass.
Returning, of course,
to draining my glass.
But it only got worse
so I went to the phone
in order to call
to get a ride home.
By morning it seemed
that it had gone away.
The illness had passed
and I felt ok,
but I'd learned a lesson
that I'll always recall.
Antibiotics
don't go with alcohol.
Day 20
Prompt:
"Write a Love poem with a capital "L" as in a loooooove poem. Think about wooing; think about being wooed; and then, write!"
This one came out a bit cheesy since I don't have anything to draw from at the moment and I don't particularly want to think back to when I did.
Love Poem
In your eyes lie the secrets
of worlds I've never known
and the cure for the chaos
into which my life's been thrown.
There are no words sufficient
to say just how much I adore.
The love that you have shown me
is all that I am living for.
Day 21
Prompt:
Today's prompt requires that you do a little snooping. That's right: I want you to write a "snooping" poem today. Basically, you need to write a poem that incorporates a bit of overheard dialogue"
Stepped away
"Excuse me" she said
as she slipped out the door.
She knew that she just
couldn't take any more
of the veiled implications
and outright lies,
although they didn't
come as any surprise.
All the baseless assumptions
made at her expense,
with no coming
to her defense.
Tired of seeing
her life put on display,
her only recourse
was to just get away.
