2018 April PAD Challenge: Day 26

Happy Poem in Your Pocket Day!

For today’s prompt, write a relationship poem. Of course, there are human relationships, but there are also plant-animal relationships, animal-animal relationships, and even mathematical relationships. Good, bad, healthy, and not-so-much. Dive deep today.

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 Relationship Poem:

“gifting”

the husband bought flowers
but they were the wrong kind
still the wife was not sour
nor delivered her mind

to the inept husband
who at least showed some thought
until he became mad
over what the wife got
