Today's Poem or Short Story Prompt: The Word "Ticket"

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 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".

    when 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
