April 27th poems
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.

No, I never had to.
Oh.
You’re something else, kid.
Well, maybe.
When are . . .
Let me know and I’ll come by.
You know I’m always here, baby.
Oh, yeah.
I’m really good at picking up the pieces.
