“running in the rain” by KristinaAlexanderson: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalexanderson/7319769482/in/pool-flickrtoday
This poem was inspired by a NaPoWriMo prompt that encouraged rebellion and rule-breaking. I’m not sure that I went to any extremes, but I did try to stretch my use of language a little.
Lego at the Lake
Lego-ing with my brother
at the lake because the rain
Mom, drink-tired
daddying our holiday
he was long gone
gone from dad to father
and back again
memoried into physical
we built towers
and joyed most the toppling
puddles of brick clatter
twisted our ears outside
where we boy-stacked
our raindrops instead
