Poetic asides Prompt: Pick a city, make that the title of your poem
Atlantis
Teacher told us
to write a poem
as if we were
in another city.
We could pick a city.
I wrote down the title
Atlantis
and turned it in.
“There isn’t any poem,”
she said. “Just a title.”
“But you can’t say anything
underwater.”
She laughed,
but I still got an F.
