Accidents Happen
A Poem A Day Challenge - February 11th, 2024
Grey matter
Splatters
Pink blast
Shatters
The glass china on the wall behind.
Wretched, hellish, watching, jealous;
The end of a revolution number 9.
Sitting, painting, panting, waiting,
Cuss like a sailor
Stubbed a toe.
Watching matches light
Plane crashes
Rob a bank and knead the dough.
Feed the gremlin
After midnight
Purposeful havoc we did sow.
Playing god and riding horses
Stomp the snake beneath your hoof
Climb a ladder
Cleaning gutters
Fall ever gently to your death.

Oh? 2 in one day. I started writing the last poem I submitted at 11:15 and realized I wrote it in 12 minutes. This prompt, which may or may not continue, is to write multiple poems before midnight and see how far it takes me. I figure if I'm being bit by the writing bug, I might as well follow the itch that proceeds.
