Day Two

Today’s challenge at NaPoWriMo is to write a poem that takes the form of a family portrait. You could write, for example, a stanza for each member of your family. You could also find an actual snapshot of your family and write a poem about it, spending a little bit of time on each person in the picture. You don’t need to observe any particular form or meter. Happy writing!

 

Here’s Mine:

 

MY ROBOTIC FAMILY

Photogenic not photosynthesis

I swear the picture’s looking back at me

A million years ago in days of bliss

Of me and my robotic family

 

Such artistic vision encapsulates

And mirrors my eternal entity

This very soul of mine which can’t escape

Then in my mind I truly would be free

 

They say you only reap the things you sow

My hair is purple blue and red aflame

My eyes are whiter than the driven snow

Looking back my portrait is still the same

 

I used to cry each time they sold my clone

As time progressed I valued being alone
