Day
15 of the NaPoWriMo challenge at www.napowrimo.net.
Prompt: While Brother JC’s warm-up and
Kenyon’s poem might seem very different at first, they’re both informed by
repetition, simple language and they express enthusiasm. They have a
sermon/prayer-like quality and then end with a bang. Your challenge is to write
a six-line poem with these same qualities.
The Joy of
Six
Weight
gain, bloating, fatigue,
irritated
eyes, vision changes, nauseous.
I’m dizzy, almost
fainting, spacing out,
but my ears
are buzzing like little bees.
I’m not on
drugs & can’t be pregnant.
Haven’t had
sex in years.
