Today we had to turn a popular saying on its head and write a poem with it... I didn't follow the prompt exactly because I like to break the rules from time to time and feed the muse what it wants!
A Rhyme in Time Saves The Day!
Today
although I did not
write a poem
a poem
wrote me.
Its words settling
on my tongue
like dew,
new tonic of elated
truth.
Baited by beauty
all day
I did not give in
to inconsequential
living:
I rhymed;
I counted heartbeats
in iambic wonder;
blank spaces
inked
with meaning.
