For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Important (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. Possible titles could include: “Important Documents,” “Important: Read Before Assembling,” “Important People,” and so on. I hope everyone finds something important to write about today.

Not sure about anything but trying:
ReplyDeletetrivial outcomes * noticeable chaos * important resolutions
riotous beginnings * interesting research * calm procedures
mournful happenstance * breathable equilibrium * celebratory fireworks
calamitous collapse * undetermined consequences * fortunate coordination
ambitious undertaking * opportunistic flaw * low energy
virtuous approach * flexible consideration * spiteful divergence
Love * Indifference * hate
LOL. I didn't read this till after day 29 prompt was out but this could work for that also. A haphazard poem.

ReplyDeleteIMPORTANT
ReplyDeleteI have to do my homework.
Mom tells me it’s important.
I want to be sure what that
means. I search for important
on dictionary.com.
The definition says of
much or great significance
or consequence. I search for
significance. importance,
consequence. So I look up
consequence. Finally, some
words I know. effect, result,
or the outcome of something
occurring earlier. It
also says significance,
importance. I could keep on
going in circles but then
wonder what is the effect
of not doing my homework.
What will be the outcome if I
search dictionary.com
instead of doing my homework.
Then I remember something
occurring earlier. Mom
said I had to do homework.
I guess I’d better because
I know the effect, result
or the outcome if I don’t.
