It's Poetry Friday again and this is my 3rd straight week participating. Before I share today's poem I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words about The time we're given experiment. I just thought it would be interesting to start 2 poems with the same line, I had no idea what would come from it.
We've been doing some Spring cleaning around these parts and a few weeks ago my wife and daughter found one of my old college writing assignments. It was for a non-fiction creative writing class which I may put on the blog later. On the back of one of the pages, I scribbled a poem.
I Can't Skip.
I can't skip.
Don't ask me to
I can't,
I won't.
I don't
Skip ...
I'd like to skip
It's fun,
It's free.
It's me,
It's who I want to be.
But I can't.
So, I won't,
And I don't.
Skip ...
"Can't you skip?"
"No."
"Everybody can skip."
I can't.
This week's Poetry Friday is being hosted by Michelle Kogan.
