Day Eighteen
I'm doing today's prompt at Napowrimo.net!
This prompt comes to us from Cathy Evans,
who challenges us to write a poem that begins and
ends with the same word. You could try for something
in media res, that begins and ends with “and,” for example.
Or maybe “if.” Or perhaps you could really challenge
yourself and begin/end your poem with a six-dollar word
like “antidisestablishmentarianism.” (Just kidding!)
Whatever word you choose, I hope you have fun with it!
Here's mine:
THE ONE
One on one they're about the same as us
usually we'd rush out and take them on
only as I can see their weaponry now
no way will we beat them one on one
None of them out there last time were yet born
ornamental as that might sound to you
your young soldiers will surely die tonight
night after night none will be spared no none
Oneness in the ranks will beat these chancers
erstwhile as they might think they are out there
here we go then into battle once more
rebuffing the enemy with oneness
One of us and only the one will win
in this total war we will be the one
