For today’s prompt, write a poem using at least three of the following six words:
- ideogram
- remora
- casket
- eclipse
- selfie
- wretch
All too easy. wretch, eclipse, casket.
Going with ideogram, remora, eclipse.
Funny - either set of words describes the books I'm working on.
Okay.

The remora has figured it out.
Eat shit. Don't rock the boat.
Don't take too much.
Swim along, attached, unnoticed.
Go where the host goes.
Get places that way. See the world.
Parasitic, but modest, elegant in its way.
Become part of the ideogram -
a flourish, like a tail, or a tale -
that changes the meaning just slightly.
Regardless what comes,
- even as the moon
blocks out the sun,
stay there and - gently - take what you can.
No one will even know you're there.
This is one way to make it in this world.
