Emergency Poem
Often a haiku or tanka,
usually, forgettable
written and saved
in case I can’t come up with
something better.
In case I turn on the poem tap
and nothing flows,
in case I have poetry
constipation.
It is reassuring to have
an Emergency Poem
in the wings,
an understudy,
who will step up
during LexPoMo
so I don’t miss a day.

Isn’t that the truth! I’m in one of those dry tap situations. This gets so hard by the end of the month!
