On Saturday, 7/26 & Sunday, 7/27. The Poet Outlaw attended a weekend workshop at POETS HOUSE in New York City.
The workshop, PROMPTS FOR POETS was led by Valerie Fox & Lynn Levin, authors of the book "Poems for the Writing: Prompts for Poets."
During the workshop we explored several of the prompts in their book.
PROMPT - WRITE AN "UNANSWERABLE LETTER" POEM.
MY EFFORT:
dear papa
when they laid you
down to sleep in
that backwoods cemetery
your final resting place
committed your body back
to the dust to the ashes
of the earth
dropped that first shovel
of dark moist soil on
top of you
papa i tell you
they might of well
had covered me up too
