NaPoWriMo 2018-08 -- Day 8, a Poem for Fun
.
Of the Nagging Woman;
fill in the blanks with your own words
fill in the blanks with your own words
I.
She's (besides being _____ )
She's Loud
and Disappointing,
Arrogant
It's Demoralizing
the way she Barks
So Disgustingly irritating
Spews Hateful remarks,
they are so Very grating
II.
How I feel (like _____ )
I might be Insufficient
but for sure I'm terribly Disappointed
Often I would like to be Hatefully retorting
I'm Demoralized
and painfully Hurt,
wishing I was Running away
I feel like Dirt
she treats me like that. I could go Faraway
III.
What to do (besides _____ )
Sometimes I Cry
almost drives me to Drink
wish I could Muffle
her and Disappear
while she gets loose. I like to Kick
but I'll settle on going to the Golf course
but I'll settle on going to the Golf course
It makes me to Be sick
You might think we need to Divorce

I am not sure everyone will call this work tonight a poem, it got late as I've had a busy Sunday, I'm sorry. For sure it is a list of words or phrases. I did in my mind have something much better planned. I think it may fit the requirements of both the groups above.
That said, Sanaa want us to try a new form, the A L' Arora.
- Hers ideally would have four verses but she said that two or three would do.
- The second is modeled after Shelly's defence described in the NaPoWriMo instructions. Mine is very abbreviated though.
- I believe it also loosely fits the requirement of a "triptych form poem," also very abbreviated (Google links for you to read up on it).

Love it! Thank you for writing to the prompt, Jim.
I really like what you did with the form - made it your own thing. Great progression through each part. I'm glad you felt inspired to write a triptych.
P.S. I eventually went with your suggested order for mine. Thanks.
I think you created some serious fun!
I truly hope this is fiction !
wow - I like how you've played with this, especially offering the reader to fill in the first blank of each line. Pretty nifty way to engage us. As for the content? Well, sorry, but I'm laughing, pray tell this isn't a "real truth" for you, but you've clearly taken some nagging sentiments and issues and presented them with feeling, yet also have turned them on their heads - sideways, for the sort of laughing at one-self and others after the heat and hurt of the moment has passed. Great fun to read this Jim :)
