PAD Day 28: A Glass of Wine

 Today's prompts from Write Better Poetry and NaPoWriMo: (1)Write a "love" and/or "anti-love" poem, and (2) "try writing a poem that follows the [following form]: three sentences, six lines: statement, question, conclusion."

I was fishing for a poem, so I dipped into the Sunday Whirl word bank, and this week's dozen was unusual in that three of the words rhyme. Instead of trying to use all twelve words like I usually do, because the form of the poem is relatively short, I chose to use just the three rhyming words, and came up with this poem that could be construed as either "love" or "anti-love."


Glass
 
Love is a wine,
sparkling, not still.
 
But what is the damage
when the glass tips to spill?
 
You get to clean up,
I get the bill.
