Today is the final "Two for Tuesday" prompt(s) of the month:

  1. Write a leader poem.
  2. Write a follower poem.

I'll leave it up to you to decide what a leader or follower poem might be. You can either lead the way in figuring that out, or follow the lead of another.

Here's my attempt:

"Captive"

Take me to your leader.
I want to be a follower.
I want to follow you
through whatever you'll lead me.
I promise I won't
abandon you when times get tough.
I'll be committed
if you'll only commit me.
