Life

By Steve Gillman
 

This poetry was written using Deal-A-Poem. The words (cards) dealt out were; hate, stay, wrong and me. Only three of the words were used, and not in order, and the poem became 8 lines. Obviously, the Deal-A-Poem technique is not about the rules, but about stimulating creative ideas.

Life
Once I stayed in a theater
Watching – right to the end
A movie that I hated
A movie that bored me
What can I say?
Except…
I had already paid
The price of admission
