Today, let’s write a poem about this song by Kansas. If you are not so inclined, how about a poem about the band or the state of Kansas, dust, wind, life or whatever suits your fancy. Please do share.

If I were a pig
I would be a pet
one who would go to the beach
one who would be fed the finest
not the slop my Uncle used
you do not want to know about that
trust me
If I were a pig
I would be coddled when I wanted
left alone for naps and chills out
have my own plush bed
have oatmeal for breakfast
and apples for dessert
whatever I want for whenever
But I am not a pig
and do not fancy being a pet
beach options are uncertain
I do not go hungry
slop is not on my menu
I have my own bed
I can take a nap
I coddle when I want
I have oatmeal for breakfast
I have apples for dessert
But with others
it may not be such a dream life
So, I ask you
if you would want to be a pig
or another animal
and would you be willing to trade
and why
Today’s poetry prompt is: Let’s write a blackout poem. Here is what it is from one of the experts Austin Kleon
If you have a newpaper, magazine, something with writing, you can create a blackout poem. You could even create a collage.
Here is one I created a good while ago while at the coffee shop.
I took this and wrote a little more:
separate thinking
although different styles play
we all want something
…
The form I used was senryu. Not all people write an edited poem from their blackout and one of the beauties is to find a way to make it stand alone. Either way it is a win!
Show me your blackout poetry or just write and share! It’s all good!

Looking within me
You are the best version of love
The one who sees within
Mirroring to me what you see
And as it goes
What I do
What I see
Is the best version of myself
As if I allowed myself
To be what your love sees
And with this
I can love myself
Free to be the best version of me
Today’s Prompt was to write a mirror poem. This was my response.
