Singulahilarity
Time of cosmic joke
Hold fast to your levity
Popcorn and Coca-Cola
Prompt: Write a future poem
They’re all the rage
teenie-weenie houses
designed by the
arty-farty types
most a mish-mash of
metal and glass
to keep out the
riff-raff I s’pose
livin’ small in
Hobson-Jobson Ranch
Prompt: Write a shelter poem.
He was certifiably insane,
that man in the window.
Blood was everywhere,
and I mean everywhere.
The mood and the air,
they were heavy, so heavy.
Hardly anyone talked,
except for that man.
He had witnessed everything,
and had things to say.
So many things that happened
day after day at the slaughterhouse.
Prompt: Write a violent poem and/or peaceful poem

Her eyes lit up
like a blown-out candle
Racing slowly
up the long descent
into the dark pit
She headed
toward the sky

Caught in a rush of wind
it swirls and rises
then gently spirals
down toward the river
Another gust nudges it
over a rock
then another rock
and into the
cool choppy water
It swirls again
this time with
less grace but
still in harmony
with the flow
Once more it spins
joining with others
just like it
creating a colorful
carpet rushing over
jagged stones
Hours later
fifty miles farther
it comes to rest
torn and tattered
but fully alive
Prompt: A voyage poem
Back and forth
up and down
her little head moves
tracing the arc
of the rainbow
Staring intently
at each side
she cannot tell
Really
Where it begins
or where it ends
Day 1 Prompt – Beginning poem or ending poem
