Today our example poet mussed with language and sound. But we also had to go with big/small and bring them together. Wasn’t sure how far this poem was going to go but it made its own decisions. I truly thought I was going to flag out today but poetry just wouldn’t let me. The title also chose itself. The one choice I made was to use the word beer as acknowledgement of our example poet.
Annoying
not as bee sting
snakes fling tongues long
longing to what
and what
cross-stitch under the mouse
sand etching glass
beer deer fear full
sting tingling if you there
the always I can’t repeat
and can yes not remember
bees so small and so precious
snakes so massively annoying
but so am bees be if they sting
which was enough is enough

And now, without further ado, our (optional) prompt for the day. In his interview, Smith you today to write a poem in which something big and something small come together. Happy writing!mentions “ants roll{ing} epic” – a rather charming image! In honor of it,
