I just got the new poetry assignment, due tomorrow,
and I’m dizzy with fierce anxiety
like tendrils wrapped around my throat,
reminding me of that time I was shopping
at the Shoe Emporium on 44th and those
saffron-robed Krishnas nearly suffocated me with their chants.
at the Shoe Emporium on 44th and those

I could barely get out of there!
I flinched (I may have even squalled)
reading the assignment, delivered early by email
before the crows were even up.
This is impossible! I’m too rusty! It’s been a month
since one of these!
I know I sound like I’m over-reacting but who
expects me to wrap a fresh idea
around twelve required words,
pepper it with keen creativity and construct
a poem that reverberates with some meaning.
Who can do that? Surely not me. Definitely not me.

Take a bow! You very cleverly included all 12 tricky words in your poem ... and created a winner!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather face a wordle than Hare Krishna's any day :). A flawless job of handling this one.
ReplyDeleteThey freak me out, too...
ReplyDeleteI think you just did!
ReplyDeleteAh but you did. Very nice.
ReplyDeletefrom Therese B -- Delightful. I like the flush-right approach. It looks worried, somehow. Wrapped by tendrils.
ReplyDeleteYeah, dead good! clever little wordle!!
