NaPoWriMo day 8 – April 8, 2020

Hello All.  The prompt for today, use inspiration from another poem, a line or word, to start your own poem.  And then I heard a young women on the street, and I didn’t need to look up any other published works for inspiration.


Tremont Street Rap

“He was a Casanova baby”

She chanted loud and clear

The alto argued both sides

So all the block could hear.

“No baby, that ain’t me”

“I only see you, I only be you”

“Together maybe mister,

But your eyes say something too”

The lines tossed boldly

Across the dog park view

“These eyes for you, my sighs for you”

“Then mister, why she sighing too?”

The next lines were lost to the winds

As we passed the dogs at play

I wondered how the story ends

As we began to walk away.

The last part of the rap I heard

Slicing  through the spring air

“He was a Casanova baby,

Knew he was no good to pair”.

About Meg

Meg travels a lot for work. But sometimes she has time to draw and copy and fold. Favorite drink - TAB, favorite food - Bread, favorite sound - skates on ice.
