Day Fourteen
Today’s prompt (optional, as
always) is a little something I’m calling “Twenty Questions.” The idea is to
write a poem in which every sentence, except for the last one, is in the form
of a question. That’s it! It can be as long or short as you like. The questions
can be deep and philosophical (‘what is the meaning of life?’) or routine and
practical (‘are you going to eat that?’). Or both!
Happy writing!
Here’s mine:
THE METAL GURU
Why do you come home so late at
night
Have you got a bunker mentality
Do you believe I'm the metal guru
Are you obsessed with conspiracy
theories
When will you tell me the things
that you do
Will you come home for Christmas
or Easter
Have you got money to pay for my
fare
Do you want dinner at my place or yours
Do you want dinner at my place or yours
Are you a believer or out to
deceive
When will you trust in the gods
like I do
Will you arrive on the boat or
the flight
Have you got answers to all of
my questions
Do you want me to bring anything
round
Are you in love with the daffs
and the daisies
When will you tell me that our
love is true
Will you stay over for more than
one day
Have you got weapons if we have
to fight
Do you want whiskey or beer or
wine
Are you the one that is driving
me crazy
When will the curry be ready to eat
You know that I love you enjoy
this tonight

Are you talking to me...? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Stan, this is a sandwich poem. Twenty questions with a different last line. So what makes it a sandwich? I hear you ask, Well the first line although a question is different to the fillings, which start with have, do, are, when, and will.
