Write a 'group' poem

poems

words in a book yet to be written
pipe dreams of the lonely and the smitten
masterpieces that won't make you a penny
babies to those who don't have any
 

Two for Tuesday: Write a lessons learned / never learned lesson poem

In his corner

Poetry doesn't pay the rent

Transcription is my bread and butter

Guilty until proven innocent

I pray for the latter

Last poem of the challenge.

My brain is fried.

Write a next steps poem (or a list poem)

Allergies (a list poem)

On Monday, I couldn't stop sneezing
On Tuesday, I got red, itchy eyes
On Wednesday, I started wheezing
On Thursday, I thought I would die
On Friday, I developed bronchitis
On Saturday, I wasn't getting any better
On Sunday, my allergies killed me
The bastards got away with murder

Write a "what really happened" poem

What really happened

On September 1st, 2001
Osama Bin Laden
a man, oh-so-rotten
was hung by the neck

His ill plans for the U.S.A.
to this day are displayed
in the south tower's
observation deck

~AND~

Not what really happened but what COULD happen

Obama catches Osama

The face of our beaming president
graces every newspaper front page in the nation
while every driver on the road
honks his/her horn in elation

Strangers high-five each other
the world is jumping with glee
It happened ______, __, 201_
A day gone down in history

Write a "blame the (blank)" poem

Blame the pernil

Mom was born in Guayaquil
She just cooks the best pernil
Thanks to this, we're fat, I reckon

Whether harmful or nutritious
her pernil is so delicious
we all come back for seconds

*Guayaquil (city in Ecuador)
* pernil (pork)
