This being the 39th Wednesday Poetry Prompt, I really should make this prompt to write a sestina, which, of course, is comprised of 39 lines, but...I'm feeling nice. (Those who want a challenge can write a sestina related to this week's prompt, though. Don't let me hold you back.)

The actual prompt for this week is to write a poem that deals with the idea of correspondence. Here's a link to a definition of the word correspondence from TheFreeDictionary.com: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/correspondence.

For those who can't be bothered to click on links, here's the definition given:

correspondence n. 1. the act, fact, or state of agreeing or conforming. 2. similarity or analogy. 3. a. communication by exchange of letters. b. the letters written or received.

Sometimes the best way to start a poem is to look at a word--especially one with several meanings--and use that as an entryway into writing.

Here's my attempt:

"Dear You"

I woke up in another state today
but dreamed of you anyway. We
did our best to listen and obey
some loud mouth who never seemed
able to leave and stay gone. Not
sure why he was always looking
over his shoulder, but he never got
what he wanted. I was thinking
he didn't know. Most dream bullies
don't plan ahead. It's a definite
problem. Maybe there should be
a social network to address it.
But I didn't really care about this,
because I just wanted your kiss.
