2024 April PAD Challenge: Day 20

For today’s prompt, write a poem using at least three of the following six words:

Or for extra credit, use all six words.

Also, as an alternate prompt: Write a six-word poem (doesn’t have to use any of the above words).

Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Six Words Poem:

“24”

i get hot under the collar
because i know i can’t bear
to hear the lack of praise
as i just ramble without flair
