Today Iโd like to challenge you to write a poem in the style of Kay Ryan, whose poems tend to be short and snappy โ with a lot of rhyme and soundplay. They also have a deceptive simplicity about them, like proverbs or aphorisms. Once youโve read a few, youโll see what I mean. Hereโs her โToken Loss,โ โBlue China Doorknob,โ โHoudini,โ and โCrustacean Island.โ Happy Writing! – Maureen Thorson

Normally I would say I have a style of my own and wouldn’t want or need to copy someone else’s poetry style, but I will give it a go as I have not gone off prompt for 23 days – which is a record for me! ๐ค๐ฒ๐I will write it in free-style.

Grief creeps up on
him like a thief in
the night. He crys
with great wrenching
sobs and real tears.
He holds the last
jumper she wore
before she died and
smells her perfume.
Chanel No 5 tickled
his nose as he
breathed it in, why
did it hurt so much?
His grief accounted
to how much he had
loved her, he knew
that was the truth.
