…Everydamnbody’s got a story.
Red trucks.
I still shake my head
wondering what that old man meant.

Great and full-of-places-to-go prompt. Thanks.

It’s no problem, Katherine. We love enthusiasm, and it takes a while to figure out where to post. (We’ve all done it, believe me!)

(Katherine, I’ve done it myself.)

Sorry! I got confused about time zones and posted here a day early. If it’s deletable, feel free to do so.

I'm new to Read Write Poem, so this is my first response to a prompt here. The prompt struck me hard, and I knew immediately for whom I would "speak freely" today. This is my submission in his honor. Pemphero

I hope that this American Sentence, in combination with my American Sentence # 8 (scroll down a few) will fit the prompt to “speak freely” for those who will never, now, be able to speak for themselves: An American Medal of Honor recipient, and nine tiny ducklings. And for shed tears.

I loved this prompt, in fact, it fit right in with what I did for my poem-a-day for NaPoWriMo, here’s the link to my contribution- I will try to return back next week for a re-posting of the link, I wasnt sure if I would be able to come by, hence this link. I believe in the cause I mentioned in my post quite a bit and wanted to spread the word, anyway possible.
