April 11, 2023 - play around with the idea of overheard language. Write a poem that takes as its starting point something overheard that made you laugh, or something someone told you once that struck you as funny.
Definitely not Goat Yoga
You were so angry it got your goat
I watched your fury lead it away
I know it wasn't the creature's fault
you let your ire consume you that day
I often wonder where it is
and if you ever got it back
don't let fury linger long
it'll quickly turn your days to black
I'm sure the goat is happier
among its kindred kind
As for all that anger
You've left it far behind
