POEM: Storytelling
Posted 30 August, 2010 in Family, My poems, Poetry
Storytelling
telling stories in our hotel room
keeping my game face on
my Superman fights a giant robot
John’s defeats a huge gorilla
Bernie’s Man of Steel takes on a fire monster
he’s tired so he forgets
sometimes his villain is a robot, too
I’m wearing a necklace made of Kryptonite
my powers are fading
keeping my game face on so they won’t notice
never expected this hotel room
never expected the hurricane
and yes, that’s a metaphor
what kind of kit do you pack for a storm of rejection?

*sigh*
now here’s your assignment: write a second poem — “contents of a kit for surviving a storm of rejection.” i want to know what’s in there.
