Parts and Pieces

Sometimes one poem is not enough. Sometimes a poem goes on and on. Sometimes one subject can't be covered in one small poem. Have you ever written a poem that has multiple parts? If not, maybe it's time to write one. So, that's the project for the week. Write a poem that has at least THREE parts, maybe more.

For example, 13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens

Lies and Lyrics

Let's have some fun with lyrics. I couldn't decide between Liar, Liar for my prompt or use a line from a song so I combined them for lies and lyrics. Write a short poem, no more than 10 lines, around a lyric in a song that has the word lie or liar in it. When you have finished the poem tell us the name of the song and the singer.

example:

promises of truth
you lied straight faced while I cried
and life still goes on

song: Reason to Believe
singer: Rod Stewart
