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 "lucky"

Love Poem
ReplyDeleteShit he said
I've had an endless supply of love all my life
And I'm still fucked up
If love doesn't do it
What will?
I'd buy lotto tickets
If I thought I had that kind of luck
Excuse me while I shed yet another hope
Take a cold shower with another fond dream
I was really counting on love
I was
