18 I can only conclude that I like being behind

but why....



It’s a Tuesday, which means we’ve got two prompts today: Write a sweet poem. Write a sour poem. ***** Running out of Time for a Chance at $1,000! Writer’s Digest has extended the deadline to their Writer’s Digest Poetry Awards competition to November 21. As you may have guessed from the bold statement above,
...


Sweet

This is how I like it.
I would be most comfortable
really
just loving
just loving the little puffy chested songbirds
or the black horse
with his hooves
wet in the morning grass.


Sour

But there are so many kinds of betrayals.
So many ways to be dumped
left
by the side of the road
with just that damn horse - oblivious!
and that perky fucking bird.  shh!
