Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is to write a poem about an abstraction using concrete verbs. I took the concept of a misfit (easy for me) and wrote this.
Misfit
He's a submarine in the desert,
a glob of spinach on an apple pie,
a polar bear in a Florida swamp,
a water buffalo in the sky.
He's a coffee table glued to the ceiling,
a fish behind the wheel of a car,
an octopus at the top of Mount Everest,
a dill pickle in a jelly jar.
He's a bathtub in a dining room,
a bass guitar string on a violin,
a jigsaw piece without a puzzle
wondering where he can possibly fit in. - Jeff Barnes
