Taking Charge

Sorry my Saturday Centus is the Sunday variety this week. (We got in pretty late last night from our road trip to Irvine, and my brain was on the blink.) As you can see, Jenny Matlock is up to her old tricks again. This time, we have no more than 60 words to turn the prompt into some kind of cogent story. Talk about word economy! And there's no better form for word economy than a poem, right? (The prompt is in red.)

Taking Charge

©2011 Susan Noyes Anderson

Dear John:

You’re gone.

Life goes on.

On and on.

Take a jet.

Don’t fret.

You can bet

I’ll forget.

Too bad.

So sad.

I’m the best

you’ve had.

You lack.

Stay on track.

I’ll be fine.

Don’t look back.

Too late.

Won’t wait.

Leaving me

sealed your fate.

That’s a wrap.

No recap.

No more us.

No more crap.
