2024 April PAD Challenge: Day 20
Write a poem every day of April with the 2024 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write a six words poem.
For today's prompt, write a poem using at least three of the following six words:
- bear
- collar
- flair
- hear
- praise
- ramble
Or for extra credit, use all six words.
Also, as an alternate prompt: Write a six-word poem (doesn't have to use any of the above words).
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Six Words Poem:
"24"
i get hot under the collar
because i know i can't bear
to hear the lack of praise
as i just ramble without flair
