Adam was supposed to be home by now. Unfortunately, due to a poorly maintained hot tub, he was in a coma, still in Florida. While it was terrifying at the time, looking back on it, being killed by bacteria in a hot tub is a ridiculous way to die. I had very publicly talked about how glad I was to finally find a vacation home with a hot tub before the trip. This felt like very weird karma. What strange karma would you be embarrassed or amused to find out had killed you or caused you grievous harm?

 It's Adam's last week in Florida, and it's been a weird trip.
Florida is famous for its odd news stories, which usually include a headline starting with "Florida Man". Check out this archive of Florida Man stories, and find one which inspires a new poem for you. Adam is still on vacation, so this week's prompt comes from George Abraham, who gave a workshop at The Cantab, which was based on Hala Alyan's Wife In Reverse:
Write a poem where you manipulate time or space in some way; try to keep yourself from manipulating both.  As I was on my way to vacation this week, this prompt comes from Simone Beaubien, who recently attended a Shane Koyczan show, and came back with the following Shane line s a prompt:
When was the last time you knew everything was going to be okay? A man ordered crickets online, and was surprised to find that as soon as he opened the box, crickets went everywhere.
If a box arrives at your door; and you open it, and something floods out, in too great a quantity for you or your living space, what is it? Do you try to save yourself? Hold back the tide? Or salvage the contents of the box? |
