DOGSITTER
by April Halprin Wayland
Our dogsitter knows
just enough
to wonder
why
the dog
looks
so
guilty.
Poetry Prompt:  Our student dogsitter took an adorable photo of Eli stretched out, asleep on our living room couch.  It was adorable…except that Eli’s not allowed on that couch.  And he knows it. She didn’t.  I changed the story in the words above, but my intent was to paint a picture in as few words as possible.  I admire so many of  Valerie Worth‘s Small Poems–a whole world in a few words.
It’s your turn. Can give your readers a complete picture in just a few words?  Try.
