"Dear Roommate"
Poetry Contest
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.
