Writing Prompt #1: What Can Happen in a Second
Some poetry are stories,
There’s no hidden meaning, the author speaks plainly, grabs you by the hand and takes you on a journey.
I’m petsitting two French bulldogs right now. They both are hyper when I come home, but tend to chill out fast. They sleep most of the day, and wake up just to eat. Pretty sure one has amnesia, she always forgets who I am.
Some days, she smiles
and I’m whole again.
Pen scratches, dirty dishes
stained pillowcases

Sleep.
It happened again,
An unwelcomed guest
Crossed paths before
Over and
over again.

How very studious of you
How very productive

no one to see

they always sound the same
under my feet,
creak and splinter,
in the same spots.
