It's day One of National Poetry (Writing) Month and today's effort was a successful one... At least that's what I think. The Day One prompt from Read Write Poem was an excellent one that I really enjoyed. The gist of the prompt was to put your MP3 player, or such device, on shuffle and construct a poem using the first five song titles in their entirety. Full prompt details can be found here.
I originally wrote a much longer poem, but scrapped it and came up with this. It's short, but I think it's much better than what I initially had going on.
Flowers in December,
Their petals piece together
A sorta fairytale of possession
And little lies on a Sunday morning
The song titles used in this prompt are as follows:
A Sorta Fairytale - Tori Amos
Flowers in December - Mazzy Star
Possession - Sarah McLachlan
Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac
Sunday Morning - Maroon 5
