2022 April PAD Challenge: Day 2
Write a poem every day of April with the 2022 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write a second chance poem.
Welcome back! It's day two of the April PAD Challenge, and it's your second chance to write a poem this month.
For today's prompt, write a second chance poem. That second chance could be a second chance at a relationship, at living life, or doing the right thing. Maybe play with whether it's deserved or not, or just dive straight into giving or taking that second chance.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Second Chance Poem:
"communication"
sometimes i hear a rhythm
but the words are blurred
