I'm using the NaPoWriMo prompt from day 2 because it went up this morning, my time. I think I'll stick to this one-day-behind approach & see how it goes. Today's (or Day 2's) instruction was to write a poem that tells a lie, that is all lies or that builds to a whopper at the end. Here's what I came up with.
The lovers’ lie
The moon is a
balloon
a golden orb
of love, of
loveliness
of longing, of
light
The moon watches
over lovers
in its care
a mindful eye
a wink, suggestive
Hinting at a heart
overfull.
The moon’s care
attentive,
particular.
The moon casts a
spell
on lovers alone
on lonely old
pensioners
sweet and young
once again
The moon is a
disk,
a CD of mixed love
songs
compiled by him
for her
The plastic cover
catches
the light of the
moon
—a reflection
All metaphors are
lies
and your eyes are
not
pools I will drown
in.
