2023 April PAD Challenge: Day 3
Write a poem every day of April with the 2023 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write a connection poem.
I've always felt the first three prompts are the most important. If you can get through those, you've got a much better chance at completing the entire challenge. So let's get to day three.
For today's prompt, write a connection poem. The connection poem could be technical, like a phone connection or an internet connection. But it could also refer to a romantic connection or one of a kindred spirit. As an INFJ, I naturally make connections (often grand leaps in logic) all the time; I'm just hardwired that way.
So whatever connection you make, be sure to capture that in a poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Connection Poem:
"for sure"
for sure she rang
but he didn't answer
though they both
had a connection
sometimes it happens
that way and no one
not even he
understands why
and they're both left
wondering what if
and maybe
but they'll never know
