I found the prompt for day #10 of the NaPoWriMo challenge very interesting. Writing an ‘un-love’ poem can go in several different directions of style. While I am not quite sure about whether to keep it sarcastic, deep, or humorous, I feel that the poem can actually contain a bit of it all at the same time. I guess it all depends on the writer’s opinion of the term ‘un-love’.
The following poem of ‘un-love’ will show the typical argument between man and wife and how their views of one another can be completely distorted while angry. Having been married (happily for the most part) for twenty years, while also having a bit of a sarcastic sense of humor, this prompt should be quite motivating for me so much that I just may write more than one ‘un-love’ poem. For this particular one all I had to do was think back to the days when we were newlyweds…somehow we survived. Anyway, hope you like it!
Happy Anniversary Curtis!
Real Time
Day one of wedded bliss
Wedding night sealed with a kiss
Soon after the honeymoon
Arrive the real bride and groom
Over the thresh hold she goes
Into a caged world of angry woes
Fresh flowers fill her vase
She would love to slap his face
Who was he that was before
The one who was so easy to adore
Home from work he walks in
Still wearing that dumb freaking grin
As if he actually never said what he said
Last night just before bed
Was it really nothing or will she inquire
Will she cause the situation to be more dire
Of course she will ask
How he could have possibly been such an ass
Little did she know that his reply
Would bring bloodshot red to her eyes
The argument escalates and is loud
Both of them too stubborn and proud
Soon after he walks back out
Leaving her to mumble, cuss, and pout
The blood in her veins finally cools down
Later on he comes back around
They cordially decide to call it a night
At least until again it is time to fight.
