You know the drill. here's today's challenge, from the Writer's Digest 12 days of writing:
Day 5: Write a 20-line poem about a memorable moment in your life.
A long time ago
In a place far away
I lived with a girl named Sarah
Sarah and I had a love for trains
that sometimes, put simply
could not be contained
We decided to honor
our train-shaped obsession
by patronizing museums, both near and far
Our fine city of Baltimore has many fascinations
but none so fine as our favorite
which of course is the museum of trains
There we saw parked trains, and moving, and broken
some that had buttons, and levers, and doors
one had a ghost, or at least so we thought
and one had crashed into a wall, long before
Many hours later, our feet were quite tired
our cameras were full and our brains had been fried
we wanted to remember every moment from train day
and on our way home, in the car, nearly cried
THAT IS MY TERRIBLE POEM ABOUT THE MOST LOVELY DAY OF MY LIFE. Don't hate.
