My assignment for 13_blackbirds: Write a poem in seven lines or fewer.

Anyone want to give it a go?

I have the hardest time writing short poems!

The key to writing short poems is knowing how much information/detail to include.

In some ways, it's like writing a short story: often the "normal" beginning gets truncated in order to get to the meat of the poem.

Alternatively, you could always write a limerick....

outside, the sea breathes and sighs, but
back in the kitchen, the dishwasher
vomits dirty water into the sink.

can i ever forgive my own home?

Oh, I did...

I never write anymore. Thanks for the challenge. At least the output will give others something bad to comapre themselves to :)

We are the coffee generation
our bodies shake;
our pulses surge
On Sunday we go to church for our souls to purge
We eat no red meat;
just nibble on fish or chicken
We do Pilates until we sicken

Fun (with Boots)

I have new boots
With tassels on:
They're practical and cute.
And lots of people
Complement me on
My boots, to boot.
