Prompt Delivery!

Happy 3rd Day of NaPoWriMo!  Hope everyone is having fun with poetic expression (and license.)  I posted a few poems at Poetic Asides earlier today, but now it's blog-time!

Prompts du jour:  Big Tent Poetry - 'write about making a phone call.'  One Single Impression - 'epidemic.'

Call Box

I put the dime in
and listened to it cascade down
to dime and human purgatory,
because after all,
what could I possibly get for a dime
but a quick local call
so I could say, “Please come pick me up.”
...and hope that someone might answer
on the other end.

Epidemic

What would happen if
the only epidemic
was the spread of laughs?

Celebrate!

Writer's Island's prompt was 'Celebrate'.  My poem was inspired by my 'tween twins and their latest electronic acquisition...


















☺

For Christmas this year
(oh, what were we thinking?)
we gave our kids cell phones.
My poor ♥ - it’s sinking.

So, txt, g@mes and ♫♪♫♪
they’ll articulate.
Perhaps we should now say,
“Come, let’s cellebrate!’
