My Life According to that Pen Over There

Recommend

 

"And what is that?" I asked her

Pointing to the busy scrawls

Across neat lines of paper

Among many crumpled balls

 

She frowned before she answered me

at a misplaced strand of hair,

and then she said, "This is my life

according to that pen over there."

How challenging. Write a poem with the title decided by the author of the post before. It's quite absurd.

*I encourage you to leave a COMMENT for the poet before you (or on any poem you like). This is an exercise in both poetry and in community! Please help us build on each other.

Have fun! Try to read others' work! Be fair, play nice, be appropriate (I don't want to mark this mature). You're big kids; you know what 'appropriate' means.

Thanks, Eryl
