One day left...I'm excited and disappointed at the same time. Oh NaPoWriMo, I am going to miss you! Anyway, here is my poem for the Read Write Poem prompt.
Tell Me How It Ends
Take another step
Keep up
Wait
I always pay close attention
to your instructions
I’m not as strong as you are
You tell me how to cope
You tell me how to hope
You tell me how to breathe
Seems I can’t do anything without you
walking me through the motions
I can’t make the pieces fit
Or get that voice out of my head
That annoying little engine
coaxing me to recite over and over again,
I think I can
I think I can
When we both know I can’t
Just tell me how the story ends
Do I make it over the mountain?

Wonderful! I hope you keep writing into May, so I can keep reading :-)
ReplyDeleteI like this one quite a bit. I prefer a happy ending, so my guess is - yes, you will make it over the mountain. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you've already written to prompt #29! I love this poem. Those last two lines sound like me (sigh)...
ReplyDeleteOf course you can..

Nice take on an old children's story/fable. I like it, well done. I like these lines:
ReplyDeleteI’m not as strong as you are
You tell me how to cope
You tell me how to hope
You tell me how to breathe
very nice.....and the story never ends
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I really love "Just tell me how the story ends/Do I make it over the mountain?" ;)
