2020 April PAD Challenge: Day 27
Write a poem every day of April with the 2020 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write a massive poem.
After today’s poem, we’ll be only three days from the finish line for this year’s challenge. Let’s poem on!
For today’s prompt, write a massive poem. The poem itself could be massive in size and length. Or it could take on a massive problem, describe a supermassive black hole, or praise a massive bowl of ice cream covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Whatever you write, I hope it’s a massive success.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt.
Here’s my attempt at a Massive Poem:
“Would You Rather”
Would you rather have a massive
amount of cash or happiness?
Choose one, and please, don’t be passive–
would you rather have a massive
headache or have a combative
child? One more or the other less?
Would you rather have a massive
amount of cash or happiness?
