Prompt 16, Hour 13
Open a dictionary. Pick out an unusual word. Let your poem define that word without ever using the word itself (except perhaps, as the final word in the poem.) You may choose to use the word as your title if that works for you.
It’s always a clashing – chaotic sight … at the traffic light
They honk, they swear … but letting the other car pass is rare
Its always the poor wife’s curse and moan … that fills the addicted man’s home
He doesn’t quit the smoke, the drink … he tosses his life away in a wink
Its always disheartening … to see such examples of our world conflicting
At home, in the streets, anywhere we go … thoughts, words, actions of discord we sow
Its always been the religion, class, color that started it all … it has started mankind’s downfall
I am this, you are that … I said, you said, he said
But the color of our blood that gets into this “argy bargy” is red
