April 13, 2023 - try writing a short poem (or a few, if you’re inspired) that follows the beats of a classic joke. Emphasize the interplay between the form of the poem – such as the line breaks – and the punchline.
Creepy critters
Late at night
wolves howl
I hear
something
in our campsite
this is just
too
intense
for me

Lost Ideas
I try to write
there are so many ideas
flowing
careening
erupting from my mind
but the pencil
is broken
there is no point
Dealing
Aging is
inevitable
yet I hate it
the wrinkles
the sagging
the grey hair
I'd rather die
Elevated Uneasiness
the four storey house
was for sale
the price was right
the kitchen was amazing
but it just
didn't feel right
there were too many stairs
I think
they were up to something

Congratulations on being the featured participant! "Lost Ideas" and "Elevated Uneasiness" are my favorites. I like the way you think. :)
So very fun!
Those stairs ... always up to something, or always bringing me down.
These are awesome! Love them!
