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 "tune"
TUNE UP
ReplyDeleteHere's my list:
- get to bed on time
- eat better
- get more fresh air
- cultivate gratitude
- etc
the list goes on
for two full pages
When I checked under the hood
I did not expect to find
so many opportunities
to do things
that cost so little money
and so much time
Evidently, I'm in that 98%
who want a
magic bullet
miracle cure
quick fix
that I can squeeze in
between tasks
and pay for
with the money I make
during all the time
I'm not spending
on me
