A response to the poem that is our life storyA Poem by Ellie Koput Recently, I posted a poem on tumblr (lifelessandsober.tumblr.com GO CHECK ME OUT!) One of the first likers was a guy who posts poetry prompts. I thought that it would be really cool to try this.
Here's the prompt: write a poem from the perspective of someone reading another poem. this poem can be morbid, happy, sad, etc. must include at least one pair of rhyming lines. You are a poem,my dear With your rhymes your line breaks your lullabies I fear You and I won't adhere. so I read the story of your life with my hands my teeth my eyes Too much strife Put down the f*****g knife before You slice your composition at your wrists your hips your thighs An illusion of confusion Due to the persecution it's as though My own poem isn't s**t my rhymes my line breaks my lullabies Did you even read it?
