This weekend's Weekend Wordsmith is Passport.
I was finding myself stumped. Throughout Saturday I had tried several times to come up with a poem (because that's what I like to write from my prompts). Nothing was coming, so this morning I remembered something I learned in a poetry course...add an extra word to a poem to give it some more depth.
Well I added two extra words to the prompt, Red and Trampoline, and before I knew it words flowed, and out came a poem of sorts. Not only that, similes showed up, too. This was a great exercise for me, and reminded me of the usefulness of continued education :>)
Bouncing from city to city
Like a trampoline,
Eyes as red
As delicious apples,
Feeling as used
As a passport,
Announcements unfiltered
Like a rock concert,
Will it ever end
Like a book?
Yes
Smiles greet me
Like open envelopes
Hugs as welcoming
As…well hugs
Home at last…
