Yesterday I discovered a website called plinky.com. It is designed to help fight writer’s block and provides prompts for writing. The prompt yesterday was: Write a 10 line poem about your neighbor. Here are my results. Enjoy!!

To the Ones Upstairs

You are quieter than the last neighbor
who lived above our heads
You do not do gymnastics
and your shoes aren’t made of lead
But the noises from the bedroom
make my cheeks turn red
So for your own privacy
I humbly suggest
A new mattress for your bed
then I can get some rest
