If the walls could talk...for poetry thursday
I have less than 5 minutes to write this entry. But I missed last week, and it bummed me out. So, don't expect brilliance...come to think of it, do you ever expect brilliance??..... Crap..that took two minutes..
Here goes..
Facade
The trick
I suppose
is to have
the outside
match
the inside.
Or else
the life
you know
is just a
facade.
You can only
paint so many times,
without
having to scape
to bare
wood.
For things
only last so long.
Old wood
no longer holds nails
no matter how
you choose
to glue it.
You have to
rip it down,
and start again.
No one
wants
to live in
a house
of cards.

So glad to have you back! We might not have finished, but we did good! I wish I could write a poem this good in 3 minutes!
That's great for 2 minutes 32 seconds- great for more than that. . .

We all know this, but it's one of the hardest things to do, until it comes to a push.
Wendy..ok 2 & 1/2 min..will you share your brain with me..:) this was so good, I love your take on this prompt..and you are right no one wants to live in a house of cards..but it seems like we are at times anyway..take care, and thqanks for the visit..m
sometimes the best things
come out fast and hard
and real...
there was so much i liked
about this,
having to scrape to bare wood,
old wood no longer holds nails...
i really really liked this!
I love the ending and the line about the old wood.
Great quick job. :)
Speed poetry! This is an idea worth developing further! I smell franchise.
Excellet poem, especially given how little time it took!
