#337 National Poetry Month – 30 Days 30 Poems

The gentleman wore a blue suit,
When he walked into the lake.
With a gun prepared to shoot,
He knew what it would take.

The lake was only waist high,
But there was no place left to run.
Here is where he’s meant to die,
In that moment he dropped the gun.

And cried into the lake of tears,
For all the time he wasted.
And the many grueling years,
When he felt hated.

Now he’ll get his own back,
And teach them all a valuable lesson.
Of the kindness that they lack,
Before he sends them straight to heaven.

    A 100 word story in poetry is such an interesting premise, and you executed well. Can I ask if this took longer than writing a normal story?

      Thank you for your kind words. To answer your question, it definitely required more focus and thought from me but it took about the same time as my normal 100 word story. I think, because, I’ve done so many at this point the fact it was a poem wasn’t going to change my pace? I will say not having a concrete theme like I usually have each month made it more difficult. Today, I plan on finding something I can use as a theme and hopefully that will help me further.
