And now our (as always, optional) prompt! Today’s prompt comes to us from Cathy Evans, who challenges us to write a poem that begins and ends with the same word. You could try for something in media res, that begins and ends with “and,” for example. Or maybe “if.” Or perhaps you could really challenge yourself and begin/end your poem with a six-dollar word like “antidisestablishmentarianism.” (Just kidding!) Whatever word you choose, I hope you have fun with it!
i smile.
i fail, i try a major scale and search for a new light.
i smile.
i paint, i destroy and it’s fire i ignite.
i smile.
i’m pure chaos, i say bye and vanish in the night.
i smile.
i’m the excesses of life, i’m either black or white.
i smile.
regardless of your kind, i’m out of your sight.
i smile.
i broke all the mirrors, life is time out of mind.
i smile.
