NATIONAL POETRY MONTH DAILY CHALLENGE
#5
CAN YOU HELP? MISSING POEM ALERT!
The poem for today went missing
some time this morning.
It is slender, with short lines,
puzzled expressions,
and an air of inifinite yet unrealized
possibility. It is not armed.
It sometimes may be seen
snatching odd bits of scenery
to appropriate as imagery.
if seen, please alert the Poetic
Authorities, and return it to
this place.
