WEDNESDAY POETRY PROMPT #349

From Robert Lee Brewer's "Poetic Asides" blog.

Write a "running it's course" poem.


Baby Love


That was baby love we just made
We would say at the same time after
Coitus. You know that right?
Baby be here nine moths from now.
Not a day before or after.
If it's a girl let's name her Morgan.
But that was a boy shot he said
You know that right? Then it's done
We will name him after his dad.

WEDNESDAY POETRY PROMPT #348

From Robert Lee Brewer's "Poetic Asides" Blog


Write a "when everything stops" poem.


Don't Stop!

Sometimes I would like to just
Stop the world and get off this
Merry-go-round and round this
Rick-e-ty ride to nowhere.
But it's not my call.
I clearly understand, the cycle is
Perpetual; the wheels never stop
Turning we just get thrown off.
