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

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 world "cold".

  1. COLD


    you can be
       :
         get a blanket

    you can have one
       :
         set some sleep and
         drink a lot of liquid

    you can go
       :
         turkey, and kick a bad habit

    but

    if you are
       :
         there may not be an antidote
         though the people around you
         will bring hot tea
         and music
         and have you watch
         movies that make them cry
         and at least one of them
         will bring you something from their childhood
