Poem/Short Story Prompt for Tuesday: The Word "map"


This blog is devoted to a select group of poets. We're starting with poets from the Ann Arbor area, but, hey, if you're from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw or the Upper Peninsula, then that is okay, too.

Our goal is to provide you with a prompt every day from which you are to garner inspiration and submit a poem. How to submit will be very easy.  Just put your poem or short story  in the comments section and hit post. You may not immediately see your post, but it is there under the "Comments" section. You may need to click on "Comments" to see your poem.  It is there on another page.
You may need to have a Gmail account to post in the comments section.  Most of you do have Gmail, but for those of you that don't it's extremely worthwhile to open up one now!  That way you've got a chance to get your work out there in the world.
Today's poem or short story prompt is the word "map"

    I want a better map.

    Actually, I'd be happy with
    any map at all. I lost mine
    when I got here.

    Maybe I dropped it in the birth canal?

  2. Map

    Not every map you read is true
    You have to judge it
    As you would judge what you read
    Only red lines for a major highway
    Blue for where tourists traveled years ago
    Green for a forest
    Train tracks spot a landscape
    Where trains don't run anymore
