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 "cat".
NIGHT CLASS
ReplyDeleteWith near surgical precision
her sharp claws dug into my leg
at exactly the point
that would produce maximum shock
and pain
Do they study that?
Do they hold night classes
at some location
to which we are not privy
and compare notes
on how to elicit guilt
or what to carry into the house
and drop on my pillow
or the best way to tease a mouse
and exactly how long the mouse will respond
before it lapses into depression
and is not fun any longer?
