Day 15: Poem About a Poem

 

Well today's prompt, since we're halfway through NaPoWriMo, is to write a poem about a poem, sort of. 



A Poem Passes By

The air ripples
as a poem passes by. 

Lost like a fish that 
belly-flops into the deep.

Goodbye verses
I so longed to net.
Slippery rhymes, scaly meter.
Inspiration, carried upstream
against the current.

But most of all the last line -
that catches like a hook in the heart of the reader.
