It would appear me and the prompt writers for the official site have a fondness for Simic! Today's selection follows -
My Prompt:
Time to attempt a call and response poem, in a similar style to Carrie Etter's "A Birthmother's Catechism". But I'm going to give you the question to respond to. The question is fairly simple - What Time Is It?Official Prompt:
Begin by reading Charles Simic’s poem “The Melon.” It would be easy to call the poem dark, but as they say, if you didn’t have darkness, you wouldn’t know what light is. Or vice versa. The poem illuminates the juxtaposition between grief and joy, sorrow and reprieve. For today’s challenge, write a poem in which laughter comes at what might otherwise seem an inappropriate moment – or one that the poem invites the reader to think of as inappropriate.
Lucky Dip:
Sore
