DEFINE YOUR TERMS
by
Greg Pincus
When using terms of magnitude,
Be sure to be specific:
A pond might not look big to you...
To an ant, it's the Pacific.
Almost every Monday, Tricia at The Miss Rumphius Effect posts a poetry prompt. I love poetry prompts as jumping off places, and I realized this Monday that I have been slacking: I haven't been writing to others' prompts in a long time... and it made me sad! So, in response to the prompt to write about magnitude and scale, I came up with the above. Sometimes I like what I come up with, sometimes I don't... but that's really not the point. The point for me, anyway, is to create!

That is a great poem Greg. One of your best ones in my opinion. I love Tricia's prompts. I went through the past couple of months on her prompts and have come up with a number of poems. Methinks you and Tricia rock!!!!!
