Day 29
Prompt: you may know that
Taylor Swift has released a new double album titled The
Tortured Poets Department. In recognition of this occasion, Merriam-Webster put together a list of ten words from Taylor Swift songs. We hope you don’t find this too torturous, but we’d like to challenge you to select one of these words and write
a poem that uses the word as its title. www.napowrimo.net
Albatross
The largest wingspan
to fly the furthest distance,
to just linger on the updraft,
hung in disciplined suspense,
floating high on invisible threads
connecting islands to states
over the breath of the waiting sea,
open arms that never end,
palms tilted to the watchful gods,
as though he needs a stopping point,
as if he would ever want to fall.
