29


For today's prompt, I want you to take the phrase "And Suddenly (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. Some examples: "And suddenly we were lost," "And suddenly over," "And suddenly banana," "And suddenly sudden," "And suddenly the poem I was writing turned into a killer robot," etc.


And Suddenly I am Gone

A little speed, a lot
a tilt
hold my hand
who are you? I don't care pray to something
the bolts and belts strain
turbulence oh Christ
wind shear

Then suddenly: beverage service.
Reading about teeth whiteners
or the star gone chubby

calm and stupid
five miles above Reno.
