Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
the end of the road

The Last Straw

by Helena Frances

To Whom It May Concern:

I have left the building and don't know if I'll be back.
The chill in the rooms is not caused by outside temperatures
but by lack of warm hearts

I've gone out for clean air, and to clear my head
of my pattern of ignoring
the painful and harsh words that were said.

"Dear Roommate" writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Poets have a unique way of expressing themselves. Write a note, in poem form -any style except limerick or monostitch- in your own unique way, to whomever you live with, explaining why you're not home. Use the following guide as an example, but make up your own scenario. Use your imagination. Be clever, snarky, funny, whatever suits the occasion.

Then, if you think it needs an explanation, provide one for the readers and voters, in non-poetic terms, in the Author's Note section.

Example:

tonight
in the emptiness
that has become
our life,
I slip away
to ease my
disillusionment

Author's Notes:
We're out of milk yet again because my spouse bought an inadequate amount, and now I am forced to go to the grocery store for it, myself.


reality is a wake-up call
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
