'22 Dew Drop #9 "Oh. No." [18]
Oh. No.

Oh.
No.

I don't care what you're selling today.
Ain't buying that load of crap, no way.

No.
Oh?

When you're acting like yo' shit don't stink.
Do you think I give a damn; ya think?

Oh?
No.

April poem-a-day poetry spot!
#1370829 by Katya the Poet Author IconMail Icon


April 9—Persona—write a poem in the voice of a person who is not you.

Reading the other entries, I didn't answer the prompt in the same way. Like... were we supposed to pick a specific persona? Mine is non-specific and although this is how I often think, it's not how I speak (I'm either totally polite or go off and use more colorful language; shit is not my go-to word).

Also... I use the word shit. Purposely. But WdC reduces that to s*** because my p-log is 13+. I lowered it to 13+ because too many readers here refuse to read anything that's not allowed in grade school and contests have 13+ limits, as do reviewers and newsletters. Like... 13 year old kids don't say SHIT! ??? Color me pissed, but I'm tired of fighting the censors. It is what it is.
