Poetry Month – Day 21

Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglein (Shadorma poem)

Gun and cash –

Sixteen and alone –

Sara Jane

Rispoli

Needs to find her parents and

Fight for her own life.

Poetry Month – Day 10

Today’s Poem is a Tanka. (Syllable pattern 5-7-5-7-7).

Coffee nut latte?

Maybe that makes Cam perfect

For Em (or does it?)

Espressology’s a hit.

People want love and lattes.

This is a “Found Poem” which is like a word-collage. I pulled some words and phrases from pages 98-100 of

The Smart Aleck’s Guide to American History, and arranged them into this:

Whig on a penny

Depression

Grew up to be

on the five-dollar bill.

Hated by some

Abraham Lincoln

Crippling anxiety

“Good Guys” and “Bad Guys” on both sides

States’ rights

Not all Southerners favored

Articles of Secession

Tariff disputes

Stovepipe Hat

End slavery
