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 or Yahoo account to post in the comments section. Most of you do have Gmail or Yahoo email, but for those of you that don't it's extremely worthwhile to open up an account 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 "ticket".

ReplyDeletewhen i bought the ticket
i thought i knew where it would take me
i ended up somewhere else
they might give me a refund
or a ticket to somewhere else
but i'm afraid to ask

when i bought the ticket
i thought i knew where it would take me
i ended up somewhere else
i watched the conductor walk by
i wondered if he might give me a refund
or even just a transfer
i thought about that for a long time
by the time i made up my mind to ask
he was already in the next car
i think the dining car is open
maybe the girl behind the counter
can talk to the management
