You must use at least 5 of the 10 words from the following list, but if you only use 5, your poem cannot exceed 50 total words. If you use all 10, I'm generously giving you a maximum of 75 words for your poem. Post your finished product or cuss me out for this silly exercise. Regardless, here is the list followed by the poem that I came up with. Hope you enjoy writing, reading, either or both.
THE WORDS: interpret, bargain, consider, apathy, dusk,
deny, shatter, specific, anticipate and porcelain.
"Empty quills, unsung songs"
I consider your apathy a bargain
in exchange for hollow words,
empty promises.
Your silence simplifies,
what remains unspoken
is easy to interpret.
Deny me a choice
my words are paper airplanes,
perpetually ineffectual
in ability to reach the intended target.
Porcelain skin
remains uncovered
as dusk envelops my soul.
Nights fragrant song
cries out a thousand miles away.
Morning comes
s h a t t e r s dreams
so eagerly anticipated
yet specific to no one.
in exchange for hollow words,
empty promises.
Your silence simplifies,
what remains unspoken
is easy to interpret.
Deny me a choice
my words are paper airplanes,
perpetually ineffectual
in ability to reach the intended target.
Porcelain skin
remains uncovered
as dusk envelops my soul.
Nights fragrant song
cries out a thousand miles away.
Morning comes
s h a t t e r s dreams
so eagerly anticipated
yet specific to no one.
