If you get this letter, and it has taken a very long time to find you, then I am sorry.
I could not remember our address. I never had a need to memorize it before.
I was so scared when we were seperated. I cried and cried and cried. I am not very brave.
Luckily, a little girl found me. Her name is Eve. Even though Eve hugged me too tight when we first met, I was happy because I knew then that at least I was not going to die.
I tried to explain to Eve about you, my best and only friend Melissa. Eve did not understand. She said she would be my friend. I cried because I missed you, and I really missed the beerz.
Eve asked her mom to buy me gummi vitamins. I take one every day.
Eve has a dog. Her dog is very scary. He is big and wet and he is called Bruce.
Recently, Bruce the big, wet, stinky dog tried to eat me up. I told Eve that I could not live with Bruce any more. I told her I was going to move back to Melissa's house.
Eve understood that I did not want to be eaten. She made me promise to stay friends with her even when I live with you. Is that okay?
Eve helped me find you, Melissa. Can you please come pick me up? Eve lives in the yellow house on Maple Street. Be careful of Bruce.
Each week, we post a new poetry prompt and share the resulting poems in the comments section of the prompt post. You may also post the poem on your own blog and share the link in a comment.
OFF TO TITAN
ReplyDeleteI'M OFF TO TITAN
Tired of this old world after all
I'm off to Titan and I
won't be back
cramped in a spaceship by
a man named Jack
(or was it a gal named Jill?)
I never knew for sure as its inventor
never held still but
jiggled and giggled like
someone gone mad
insisting on the ship's perfect
viability to land safe and sad and
sound after cruising the galaxy
onto Saturn's orange moon
hidden under colossus's of clouds
that no one had seen
so I’ll croon until I get there
in my perfect machine
(so he or she insisted —
or I wouldn't have enlisted)
SO I'm off into the blue
having said my goodbyes
a millennial adventure
full of surprises
and who knows who might greet me
under those oceans of mist
some gorgeous vavavoomish never-been-kissed
perfect being who’ll administer to
my every whim
or (on the other hand) a Gorgon-like grim
ghoul with twenty arms and drools
or a furry gasser-master with
ten heads and claws as scratching tools
but I won't think of any of this
I'm just keeping to my route
which is up up and away
without ever taking my
foot off the accelerator until I
get there in one piece
so hello goodbye goodbye hello
for on earth I was a very
jolly good fellow!

crawling, scratching amplify
horrible sounds
next death
rancid, decay intensify
atrocious smells
then entreat
offering McDonald's to compensate
the tragedy of a rodent's demise
