Today's prompts from Write Better Poetry and NaPoWriMo: (1) Write poem with the title "Last ________," and (2) write an "ars poetica" poem (a poem about poetry).
I've written quite a few ars poetica poems in my career. The first section of my full-length collection The Bungalow of Colorful Aging contains several of them. But this morning, after a busy and tiring day yesterday in which I was still able to crank out one of my longer poems of the month, I decided to be brief. Maybe I'll be inspired to write something a little longer later, but for now, here it is.
Last Line of the Poem
There. The pen inks
a final period.
It’s perfect.
Nothing more
needs to be said.
Except, maybe
it’s not really the end.
Three more dots….
