A Month of Writing Negative Space Poetry
Prompt: (blank) More (black)
Some More, Please
fairies in the street,
pirates on the grass.
one knocking. knocking.
coal-dust cheek, grey coat
frayed into fog, flat cap,
burlap mouth.
his shoes leak
into November.
trick or
treat—
please, lady,
I want some more.
