Day-28
NaPoWriMo-2026
Prompt: Victoria Chang’s poem, “The Lovers,” is short and somewhat shocking, bringing us quickly from a near-hallucinatory descriptive statement to a strange sort of question, before ending on the very direct statement of a “truth.” Six lines, three sentences, and to top it off, a title that I think works for the poem but is only obliquely related to its text. Today, try writing a poem that follows the same beats: three sentences, six lines: statement, question, conclusion.
Musings are woven
in the hours of contemplation.
See how the heart flutters
like a leaf?
There is no end to pain
when the heart aches.
