#OctPoWriMo Day 18: Poem — “Date Night” #amwritingpoetry


For #OctPoWriMo Day 18, the prompt is on rejuvenation using the Diatrell 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an ethere, has a set rhyme pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba.

Proved,

Perfect,

Makeup set.

Lipstick-lined, filled;

Pursed, and apple-red.

Their car’s cleaned of filth;

House organized, no more spills.

She in flared-dress; he in dress shirt smooth;

Driving past fields of canola, city lights brilliant:

Tonight, mom and dad have ‘date-night,’ thrilled.

Kids in bed, playing games at will;

Parents smile without regrets.

Hands held tight still —

Dinner set;

They’re blessed,

Soothed.
