27.

by Melanie J Yarbrough

we used to throw
those words
around
like footballs in the afternoon.

but me, I'm so sick of practicing
and you keep cancelling the game

Great POTD. I've found words to be more like returning boomarangs sometimes than footballs. Not always (that I can notice, anyway) but sometimes...

Nice work Melanie. Excellent choice for POTD.
