For today’s prompt, write a “let the good times roll” poem. I’ll allow each poet to put the emPHAsis where they wish in that phrase. Focus on the “good times” or play around with the concept of “rolling.” However you roll, I’m cool with it.

Re-create Your Poetry!
Revision doesn’t have to be a chore–something that should be done after the excitement of composing the first draft. Rather, it’s an extension of the creation process!
In the 48-minute tutorial video Re-creating Poetry: How to Revise Poems, poets will be inspired with several ways to re-create their poems with the help of seven revision filters that they can turn to again and again.

Here’s my attempt at a Let the Good Times Roll poem:
“Carefree (or -less)”
There are times I don’t look
before I leap or cross the road
or room or what-have-you.
There are times I don’t look
or finish reading the book,
because I don’t care to know.
There are times I don’t look
before I leap or cross the road.
