For today's prompt, take a favorite line or image from an earlier poem this month and re-work it into a new poem. This is a fun exercise that I've used to successfully write new poems in the past.
Here's my attempt:
"Cloudy with a chance of line breaks"
We have a poem to write slash
poem, as if we could avoid
the way our pens hash and re-hash.
We have a poem to write slash
read, buying books with extra cash--
new words shining like brilliant toys.
We have a poem to write slash
poem, as if to cloud a void.
