For today's prompts, write one of the following poems (or both--if you're feeling ambitious):
1. Write a slow down poem. Could be about reducing actual traveling speed or speed of living or some other interpretation.
2. Write a never slow down poem. Some people love living in the fast lane and believe it's better to burn out than fade away. If you're one of these people or want to write about one of these people, then this is the prompt for you.
Not going to write two.. Slow Down is enough.
Michigan Bar Road
Slow down
Park the car
Leave the windows down
Leave change visible there
Bills
No matter
Walk through someone's yard
Feed their swayback mare
with grass ripped from the good side
of the barbed wire
Walk as far as you want
You are not trespassing
You are a California girl
Wildoats advise you.
Moss green
on the river oaks
is the answer
Shoes soaked through to socks
Slippery step over rocks to sit
Count how many greens
or forget how many times counted
Home wants you
and wants you
slow
hair - the color of oats
eyes, spirit - moss green
saturated
here
now
holding on
taking part
