From Writer's Digest PAD Challenge:
After today’s poem, we’ll be only three days from the finish line for this year’s challenge. Let’s poem on!
For today’s prompt, write a massive poem. The poem itself could be massive in size and length. Or it could take on a massive problem, describe a supermassive black hole, or praise a massive bowl of ice cream covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Whatever you write, I hope it’s a massive success.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt.
my psyche is both
ReplyDeletebig and small
it's all a state of mind
there are days
that I feel massive
and I cover
half the world
then there are times
I'm two inches tall
I wake that way
there's nothing
that can change it
it has to do
with dreams
and sleep
how I spent the night
heights of no return
or low and lonely
to the point
of non-existance
when I feel massive
I'm ten feet tall
and weight 500 pounds
of pure muscle!
can you perceive
my largeness?
do you understand?
I become invincible
I'm bigger than
the world
but, maybe tomorrow
I'll wake real small
my strengh is not
like an ant
crumbs are cake for me
and movement
is so slow
I barely get around
carpent fibers
tangle me
trip me
take me in
but I remember
walking on rooftops
so, I do not despair
I only wait
and wonder
what I'll feel
...tomorrow...
A fun self portrait, I'd say this is.
DeleteI like the carpet fibers tangle me.... those imaginary things we trip on out of no where. Lol. This is a lovely flowing big to small poem.
DeleteRight on!
DeleteMy tasks for today overwhelming
ReplyDeleteAsking for help is not my method
Sometimes I want to quit. Instead I
Send emails, work from home, carry on.
I'm tired of responsibilities.
Very tired. I just want to sleep for days
Eventually wake a new life.
Agree!
DeleteWishing you well with that. Life can get tedious indeed. Will we go back to once a week here? rotating subjects? That was fun.
ReplyDeleteMassively Fortunate
ReplyDeleteMassive stress
is generated
for me when
there must be
a daily deadline
by which a poem
must emerge
from my pen.
Fortunately, it's
only for a month
Agree with this too!
DeleteHaha agree agree!
ReplyDeleteI combined acrostic method of the word massive repeating Tad’s 3456 5 lines until it repeats but it would truly be a massive poem if I continued it until the word AND the pattern ended in the same stanza. The theme is Marie Kondo’s Spark Joy cleaning method. Sorry posting a day late.

I showed the numbers because I might tey and continue the monstrosity!
