2010 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 2

And just like that, we're already into our first "Two for Tuesday" prompt in which I give two options for the prompt. You can choose either of the two prompts or even write both if you feel up to it. We got off to a great start yesterday. Let's keep at it.

Here are today's prompts:

1. Write a "ready to start" poem. Yesterday's poem closed the door or turned the page on the past events. Time to start looking forward.
2. Write a "not ready" poem, or even "never ready" poem. Sometimes, we're just not ready for the things that come our way.



Ready to take my head off and throw it in the street
Ready to have the next pickup run over it
Ready to headless grope and find what is in there
Metal yellow serrated
golden razor

my hands bleed
and my life begins to bleed
rivulets i will set sail on
down this is not a poem
its just a headache
that is everywhere

don't know what to do.


...only publishing this as i'm supposed to everyday.
not a poem. . not a good day. i'm ready to have it over with.
