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 "desktop"
LOVE LETTERS
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me
that if you carved AA + BB
into a desktop at school
it might define you
forever.
That BB
would always be somewhere nearby.
Maybe in the shadows
Maybe in the back of my mind
Maybe reading my Facebook page
Maybe as a subtle vibration resonating exactly
at the same wavelength
as my fondest wishes
and wildest desires.
It doesn't matter.
I never had a knife when I needed one.
