It's the last week in April, so that means National Poetry Month is starting to wind down. I've been diligent in writing the poetry I've set out to do, but I know that when it comes to revisions, I haven't been quick to get on it. That's why Monday's normal post is happening on Tuesday. That, and the Indiana Comic Con commercial on TV keeps distracting me--I mean, who decided to mix "Shake It Off" with cosplay? It boggles my mind. It's definitely apples and oranges (no offense to T. Swift or cosplayers, of course).
Anyway, once I finally focused on the poetry again, I started playing with alliteration and this is what I came up with:
--
A Losing Pursuit
Priorities pronounced in pencil
But they can all be pushed away
Pressures take precedence
Puckish people clamoring to use you
like a plastic bag
Purposeful in carrying their baggage
Placed in the trash, not even preserved
for recycling
Once your practicality is brought to
pass
--
