Today is the first day of April, and the first day of my poem-a-day challenge. I am reading the Read Write Poem prompts. Some days I'll try them. Other days, I might just do my own thing.
Today's prompt was to "Shuffle a Poem". You can view the details here, but the gist is that you shuffle your iPod. Write down the first 5 titles that pop up and use them in a poem.
Here's my attempt.
Fellow traveler--
Do you hide behind your
book,
earbuds,
laptop?
So much for my sad song...
Do you miss
hearing,
noticing,
wondering
what might have been if you
let the words escape?
Do you want to
see,
connect,
believe?
Pardon my dust...
You can sit here.
What I've witnessed is
indescribable.
