 A poem a day keeps the cobwebs off my keyboard. |
| You screamed the whole night when we brought you home Your ear-splitting wails, they rattled my bones. Downstairs, a neighbor pounded on the ceiling “C’mon, get that baby to sleep, will you?” Then a toddler with some bumping and bruising Knocking knick knacks while crawling and cruising Soon the padding of stockinged feet in the hall The pen scratched each year’s height into the wall The giggling of girls' secrets on the phone About boys and shopping, my, how you’d grown! But the phone barely rang once you were gone Then only text beeps from your college dorm The wallpaper flowers silently bloom and memories echo in your empty room. Task Prompt: Write a poem where each line is quieter than the last. |
