NaPoWriMo Prompt
And now, to put theory in our practice, here’s our optional prompt! This one takes its inspiration from Yentl van Stokkum’s poem, “It’s the Warmest Summer on Record Babe,” which blends casual, almost blasé phrasing with surreal events like getting advice from a bumblebee. In your poem today, try writing with a breezy, conversational tone, while including at least one thing that could only happen in a dream.
My Poem
Among the Lungs
If I sound like a fish out of water
It's only because I've just flown
From the coolest of clear waters
That make up my ancestral home
To this coastline of pebbles and scree
This hostile and alien debris, you see
I'm standing here chatting with
Two-legged creatures, not fish,
Wishing for all I was worth
To go back to my piscine hearth
Wipe off that grin and throw me back in!
