Challenge
Write a Poem in any form,
Using no more than 100 words,
And
Five instances of Alliteration
Four Onomatopoeia
Three moments of Personification
Two metaphors
One Simile
And a partridge in a pear tree.
Or some other bird. In some other tree.
Cyberbully
Sitting in spruces, sparrows softly sing.
"Tweet tweet,"
The blue screen shouts.
"Tweet tweet."
Sleepless, you look it in the eye.
Like a lion, the tweet roars at you.
You think you're so tough?
You're just a snail
Encased in a thorny shell.
The tears trickle
From your blackened eye
Onto ochre overalls,
Bouncing off blue bedding,
Landing on lavender linen.
The devious fox is probably
Laughing at the thought of your tears.
You were friends until
You kissed their mate
And now their outbox
Spits out hate mail
Like a kid
Spits salty sunflower seeds.
