This week let’s write a tiny poem. Is there a minimum number of words needed for a poem? I think so but what do I know? I think it’ll be more interesting to write a regular-sized poem about something tiny. Post your baby in the comments below.

Monday Poetry Prompt: Tiny
A Tiny Poem
is full stop an ending
ending in a dot
a dot of minuscule
minuscule holds the power of an ending
an ending of a life
a life springs from the ending

meditating peacefully
tiny black bugs attached to my skin
naturally my left breast
painful as they were for me
I had to think they had thoughts
perhaps I was wrong
to be walking in their space
after all, it’s true
bugs have the right to remain
silent until deadly
I’m still breathing
gonna tell you this
they are not
