Notes: I wanted to write on prompt, but today's prompt was related to headlines. I'm part of a journalism school, and I'm so sick of all things journalism related that I wanted nothing to do with today's prompt. So, this is my submission to NaPoWriMo #29, which is really just a second intuition poem, sans free write. I liked yesterday's poem, and my free write was intuition based, but the poem just wasn't.
VERY good post, Michelle. Yes, that type of thing does turn the stomach...I remember having that type of experience (exactly!) too well. Love the imagery you chose (mating slugs--perfect!!) for the first stanza. Sometimes it pays to go off prompt.
ReplyDeleteI have removed all the slugs from my life.
ReplyDeleteNow it is on the quiet side but without trauma.
Thank you, Robin! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDelete@rallentanda - Congratulations, that's not an easy feat to accomplish! Even with my slug extermination skills, I still seem to have one or two that I can't get rid of. And if I do manage to finally get rid of them, one or two more spring up to take their place. It's a vicious cycle.
