The exercise:
Write a four line poem about: getting started.
And onward into February the yearlong poem goes...
Mine:
So Big Buddy chose a name quite randomly,
A certain Wilson D. Fox,
Then rolled from the mansion, the tools of its trade
Carried in an unmarked box
I can only assume that Getting started here refers to the prison sentence handed down by the prompts from the rest of the week.... :)
ReplyDeleteDid I already know that Buddy was on wheels and not legs? Either way, I appreciated the detail, and the fact that he has a cardboard box already prepared for this order!
Getting started
She deals the cards with practiced hands; three sig-
nifiers stand below a Tree of Life
And one atop. “Th’Occluded Eye,” she says,
“The Shadow shall observe what comes to pass.”
Greg - no, I wanted to include the rolling thing as I'd realized I hadn't provided any visual details on Big Buddy. Glad you both caught it and liked it :)
ReplyDeleteReally like your final line here. Keeps things moving forward quite nicely.
