This week's totally optional Poetry Thursday prompt is "Are You Listening?" - in other words to take note of conversations you've overheard, then create a poem from them. I call this little ditty:
'On Target'
Did you see these?
Count how many I have...
This is insane...
How many do I need?
A dollar, no way!
Only a dollar?
For a dollar!
If one of the pair floats away,
then you can say
"it's only
50 cents
down
the
d

n
!
With a nod to Lori-lyn who found her favorite things on Saturday (May 27th) there.
Tinker, this was a fun little ditty :)
