Poetry Activity From Poetic Asides
Every day this month, one of my favorite poetry blogs, Poetic Asides, is hosting the activity of writing one poem per day, aka the PAD Challenge.
Today's challenge prompt is to write a poem about a person; Check out the details. I'd love to see what everyone comes up with. Here is the first draft of my poem:
Mystery Writer
Cyanide poisoning, stabbing, or bullet so many ways to die, but choosing just one is it enough?
In a dark alley, a bright studio, or in bed everyone dies alone but only murderers know their last words.
Twists and turns in plot encumbered in pretzels never too salty. Can't say it's the best poem I've ever wrote, but at least I gave it a shot. What about you?
