poor mia, i’ve left her with scars
and tears and whispers in her ear
our last night in st. louis, the end of a tumultuous era
i turn, heading in the direction of my car
i feel her sad eyes on the back of my head, they sear
my heart races
she knows i still care
even now with me being a giant ass
my actions making me seem crass
but it’s just how things have to be, and now are
my wife said ‘end it, ace,
or risk a monumental financial loss’, giving me a scare
but i’ll always remember mia’s soft caress

I’ve only done a couple of ‘In One Word Poems’, so I thought I would try my hand at it again with these challenges. Christine – Stine Writing posted about this interesting form a while back.
The rules are:
- choose a word
- list words that you find within that word
- choose words from that list
- write a poem in which each line ends with one of those words
In addition, I wrote this piece from a man’s perspective, something I usually don’t do.
