November 18, 2013 Writers Digest Nov PAD Challenge

For today’s prompt, write a “forget what I said earlier” poem. This poem could be a response to a poem you wrote earlier in the challenge (or just earlier in general). Or it could cover one of those moments–I have them all the time–when you say something that ends up proving wrong or that you wish you’d taken back.

Forget What I Said Earlier

Yes I answered your question

With a funny response

Instead I should have said

"In significant nothingness"

For what else could it be

If it is not true

If it is not authentic

If there is no blood

At the scene

And no heart

In the creation

We can't call it art

It is.....

"In significant nothingness"

Note:  Since the prompt was "forget what I said earlier" I used the wrong word, so I really hope you will "forget what I said earlier."  I said "in significance" instead of "in significant."
