My telephone
is really scared,
afraid he'll make
a mistake.
He hates to text
or make a sound,
all he does is
S H A K E.
Happy Saturday. I started to work on a second verse for this poem, but after I got it written, I felt like it was a bad joke that carries on when the teller doesn't trust that you've gotten the punch line the first time. So, I got rid of that verse and will save it for a second poem. Have you found that you sometimes do that too? You push a poem too hard and carry it on past the point when the poem is done? What do you do when that happens. Lot's of poems I read would be better as two poems.
So here is your task today--write a little poem. Start close. Is there something in your pocket you can write about? Is there something you are wearing? I have a tiny band-aid on my arm from where I got my flu shot. Maybe you can write about a freckle a scar or a mole. Do you have a blister? There are lots of possibilities if you start close. Have a great day writing your poem and if you'd like to share it in the comments, I'd love to read it.
