Challenge
Split a Word with a Fellow Proser
Team up with someone on Prose to create a collaborative poem based on a single word/theme... any word/ theme agreed upon by you both. Set a time limit of 6 minutes for your initial independent writes, then combine the two efforts into another longer poem using all the lines of the two individual writes. Each poet may post their own version... or you may select one as your combined final. (: This prompt created in collaboration with @Danceinsilence and @MsH ... tag both us please so we can read :)
Cell
You hold the world,
my friends,
people I do business with,
and countless others.
(I am not my Self—
this selfie)
You hold the time,
set the date,
play upon the Internet,
even count the seconds
when I jog or walk.
you fit perfectly wherever I go
—this selfie
trapped inside
a case I've kept
filed so close
to the vest—
You always make sure
I get my messages
and never ask for anything,
but occasional juice now and then.
You hold the world,
and I clutched
with clenched
fists the bars
of my cell—
