TOP prompt: Abecedarian

Written for and inspired by
Linda's Abecedee thingy
at Totally Optional Prompts
and posted to
Monday Poetry Train Revisited

Here's mines:

FROM AICHE TO OUCH

...water, water on the brain

will it won’t it, will it rain?

from aiche to ouch to h2o

I jump and kick + lunge

in-between the drips an' drops

the splish un splash of white

on black or ebony on ivory

the domino, that punches me...

  5. Here's one I wrote for Mad Kane's 'Empty nest' prompt:
    A woman was feeling depressed
    she simply refused to get dressed
    her husband forbade
    but fell short of made
    she ran down the street in her vest

    Unfortunately her site wouldn't let me comment as it identified my computer as a spam server, whatever that is. Anyway!
