Today's prompt is built around form rather than content. Try writing a septolet (sep-toe-lay) today.
Here are the rules for a septolet:
1) A TOTAL of 14 words in 7 lines.
2) No one can have more than 3 words.
3) The poem should focus on a single subject, object, thought, or feeling.
4) The first for lines should be a single thought.
5) The last three lines should be a second thought. (You may add a stanza break between lines 4 and 5, if you wish).
I'm going to try to pair two septolets, for a total of 4 thoughts, 28 words, and 14 lines. Sounds tough.
