I actually kinda like the random topics. I usually just let my emotions go and write what I feel when I write poems, but unfortunately, although they have much more depth than these poems, they are often similar to each other. However, water, work, and clothing, lol I would never write a poem for a topic that simple. It is kinda fun trying to make something great out of something so simple. But having said that I would still recommend that at least a few times we have a little deeper topics like love, death, sadness; ones that can truly do justice to the art of writing.
I am pretty sure water, work, and clothing can be deep emotional topics:
Two lovers bonded, Nate and Chlora,
Were until they went to work
For the Dental HMO,
Pulled apart by Hyde and Oxa
Chlora found Hyde's pull was stronger
Though she was a lowly clerk.
Though she dearly loved her beau,
She found Hyde's bond lasted longer.
Nate could not deny his bond with Oxa
Although to her he was a jerk
And he dearly loved his Chlo
He could not deny Oxa's aura
And then it came, that fateful day,
While they had lunch during work
For the Dental HMO
That each had went on their own way
To a simply ionizing effect.
The old coat hangs in the closet
Like the husk of a time long passed,
Its sleeves worn, its pockets holey,
A personal reminder of the past.
Not very good, but meh. Made it up on the spot.
This is my entry for this week:
Judging Books
Her jacket black was filled with down.
Mine was black but made of leather.
She placed her hood upon her crown,
But my head was in the weather.
She looked askance beneath her hood.
I wondered what she's looking at.
She looked around from where she stood.
I wondered why she's doing that.
I glanced at her from here I stood.
Her hair was blowing in the wind.
She tucked her hair beneath her hood.
There was a chance she may have grinned.
Her downy soft exterior
Kept the chilly wind outside.
Leather tough though inferior
Kept my transient doubts inside.
