2009 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 21
Posted by Robert
We're now 3 weeks into November. Only 1 week and a couple days left. Wow!
For today's prompt, I want you to write an invention poem. The poem can actually be about an invention or an inventor, or you can make the invention the title of your poem and go from there. Every poem is an invention of its own, and I can't wait to see what everyone invents today.
Here's my attempt for the day:
"Magnifying Glass"
Start with a simple lens;
use it to read; use it to start
fires. Think of everything
you might see. Now, move the lens
against your skin. Imagine
what hides beneath the surface
before looking toward the stars;
the space between you and your
heart sometimes feels impossible,
but it doesn't stop you
from looking and hoping
there is something to discover:
a giant blue star, a fiery orb.
