• Can You Hear Me Now?

  Poetic Asides – Poem-A-Day Challenge – Day 27 Prompt:
  
  

  Today's prompt is to write a poem that is only one-half of a two-person conversation, or what I like to call the "one side of a phone line" poem. I'm not even sure how well this is going to work out, but every once in a while, it's good to stretch ourselves and experiment a little.

  While you could just get to typing one side of a conversation, it might be a good idea to write down some dialogue and then, cut out the person who is the least interesting. Anyway, as with all the prompts, be sure to have fun with this one.

  
  
  Hey, what’s up?
  Not much.
  Sitting at the
  coffee shop.
  Yeah, it’s my
  favorite place
  to people-watch.
  Yeah, lots’ of them.
  Mostly looking for
  the bathrooms.
  Lunch sound good.
  The coffee shop
  has soup.
  Tastes like a
  baked potato.
  Hey, I bought
  yesterday…
  it’s your turn.
  Yeah, and besides,
  you invited.
  See you here soon.
