for October 10th this jammer simply wants you to -



An actual one. With actual emotions and as few clichés as you can manage. It's my pseudo-husband's birthday on the 13th, hence this prompt.

I'd like to point you to Seamus Heaney's lovely skunk poem. Not the most flattering love poem there ever was, but a true one.

Go forth.

  4. Good prompt Jessica. Writing a good love poem (without sounding like a Hallmark card) is more difficult than it seems. :)

  10. Thanks for the prompt.

    I am glad I was able to go to a simpler side of a love poem for this.
    The Heaney skunk poem is unbelievable...a really tough poem.
